After delays and cutbacks, Randolph hotel complex coming together
VTDigger
Standing next to a pancake-flat concrete foundation more than twice the area of a basketball court in a clearing a few thousand yards from exit 4 on Interstate 89, Perry Armstrong viewed the scene under sunlight and clear skies one afternoon earlier this month.
By next fall, Armstong and his partner, Paul Rea, expect the former hayfield where they were walking will be the site of a new 64-room “extended stay” hotel, only the second hotel to be built in the Upper Valley in more than a dozen years and one of barely a handful in various stages of development throughout Vermont.
“I used to ride around here on a tractor mowing this field in 1971 and ’72. My house is right there beyond those trees,” said Armstrong, pointing to the treeline at the western border of the site.
