SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Hotel projects in the towns of DeWitt and Salina are the first two grant recipients in the Onondaga County hotel initiative to create more hotel rooms.
The first recipient is a 108-room, extended-stay hotel under the Choice Hotels flag, located on Collamer Road in the town of DeWitt. This project was awarded $250,000 and is currently under construction, the office of Onondaga County Executive Ryan McMahon announced on Thursday. Crews will build the hotel next to the existing Quality Inn & Suites, which is currently under renovation.
The second project is a 110-room hotel located in the town of Salina under the Hilton flag that was awarded $400,000. Contractors will build the hotel on a vacant parcel of land located on Elwood Davis Road. Construction is expected to begin by the end of the year.

On June 4, McMahon announced the county’s hotel initiative to help spur investment in the local hotel industry. His office says McMahon worked with the Onondaga County Legislature to allocate $4 million in surplus room and occupancy tax dollars.
Grants range from $50,000 to $750,000 and successful applicants “must prove viable financing” for their project in order to be considered, McMahon’s office noted.
