Major MSU Project

Notable quotes:

".... plans are under way to renovate the former cotton mill into a convention center, anchoring a $176 million, mixed-use development at the edge of the Starkville campus."

"The $64 million first phase includes turning the building into a conference center with office space and building a 150-bed hotel. Future phases include an upscale shopping center and restaurants."

That I won't be able to park there on game days once this is complete? It's terribly convenient to where we tailgate.

if you go to the Cotton Mills website and look at the sketchup images and animation, they have something like grasscrete for additional parking where they have parking now.

let this project finally happen. Have been pulling for it to go through for years. Would help Starkville tremendously. From what I understand getting the lease on Cooley was the last major hurdle so maybe it will finally happen
