Augusta's first ''green'' hotel opens!
Being powered by the sun and cooled by the earth makes it different than any other hotel in Augusta.
The new Comfort Inn & Suites on Gordon Highway near Bobby Jones Expressway hosted city leaders this morning.
“It is such a great day for Augusta, our first green hotel,” said Augusta Mayor Deke Copenhaver. “It is my hope that this will set the bar for future hotels in Augusta.”
The $4 million hotel is open to customers and nearly finished.
Augusta Commissioner Calvin Holland said he was pleased with the development coming to that area of Richmond County.
“South Augusta is an untouched area. We feel that the potential of this area will grow,” Mr. Holland said. “South Augusta is ready and south Augusta is growing.”
