From confidential sources we have stumbled upon some very exciting news for the ville. Everyone is expecting big things with the development of Baard Industry's CTL plant but this news will precede the Baard proposal. This news will knock your socks off.
It seems worldwide hotel chain Marriatt Inc. has taken an interest in our area especially with the expansion of Mountaineer and the coming of Baard. Officials from the hotel chain have been in negotiations with village officials for some time now. They have an agreement in place and Mayor Joe Sirace is suppose to put this proposed agreement before council in this week's meeting.
The agreement is to lease the village owned land along Main Street from 12th to 18th Street to the hotel chain for development of a 500 unit combination apartment, hotel and resort site. Construction is to begin within days after council votes in favor of the struck agreement. The company wants to be ready to go with the rooming portion by early summer. If all goes well with Baard they might be breaking ground sometime this year.
Being planned is a 200 unit muti-story apartment building along with another 300 hundred unit hotel. With limited space they are planning a five story parking garage to be erected between the two units. The hotel will have a 24/7 buffeteria restaurant, conference rooms and a mini-theater. The restaurant will also feature a sit down menu for those that liked to be served while they are dining out. Space will also be reserved for a bar to be opened once a liquor license is obtained.
In addition to the apartment/hotel they are planning on putting in an indoor/outdoor swimming pool with a retractable roof for seasonal use. Also being planned is an exercise health facility with just about all the amenities anyone would want to see. There'll be treadmills, weight lifting equipment, steam rooms and other exercise equipment. Outside they are going to have tennis courts, basketball courts and a track for walking and jogging. It was also hinted that they are looking for available land somewhere close by to put in an 18 hole golf course. As part of the agreement Wellsville residents will be given very reduced rates to enjoy these facilities.
A spokes person for the company said they are always looking to expand and have had an eye on this area for sometime. With the prospect of Baard and the expansion of Mountaineer they decided to go ahead with plans and selected the ville. They commended the village officials for being so receptive to their plans and said they wished more people had their progressive thinking.
Although it seems incredulous it's like a dream come true in starting to getting our little sleepy village out of the economic doldrums. Other than top management village residents will be given preference for employment at the new facility. Even the top management positions will be available to our residents once they go through the Marriatt training program and serve an internship. Hopefully our council members will put legislation for the agreement on the fast track so things can get started right away. Personally I don't see anything negative about it and could see no reason why anyone would object the proposal. It would certainly be an improvement to that area.
Wouldn't it be nice... April Fools!

That should have been funny but it was just sad...like a knife in the heart.
That's not funny.
Come on, lighten up. It was meant to be like a warm, sunny, fuzzy dream. You two are way too serious for this date on our calendar.

that was hilarious. can't say that i believed anything after the third word, but it was hilarious. "opinion", go dig a hole and climb in it and don't come out until someone says so.
I knew as soon as you wrote they were in negotiations with the mayor and council that it was an April Fool's joke because council never gets told anything before the mayor makes a decision.
What a terrible joke. Here I thought, "Perfect, Finally a way to block the coal dust from the Wellsville Terminal!" And you dashed my hopes with an April Fools joke. There were talks to that effect going on though. But they broke down when Marriott refused to pick up the tab to have that rusty old hulk of a crane removed that's been sitting there for 25 years.
I knew at once this was a joke as soon as you said "They commended the village officials for being so receptive to their plans and said they wished more people had their progressive thinking" . That is a joke in and by itself! You are a real prick nib.......... I really felt some sense of things working out when I started reading this post. But it is a Fairy Tale, just like everything that goes on in this Village. Thanks for helping the people that are watching all of the Wellsville Sites think again that we are a bunch of Hill-Jacks that do not deserve this Plant........ You are helping to destroy this Town. Some April Fools jokes are funny, I will admit. This was certainly not funny.
pcr..Of course everyone knew by the first sentence that it was a joke..or meant to be a joke. What is funny to some does not mean it is funny to everyone. A first grader can figure that out. If you want to bash someone because they don't yuk it up like you do, then you are a moron. Now, I think calling you a moron is pretty funny..do you? Yuk, yuk, yuk!
There are some real crepe drapers commenting on this piece just oozing with negativism. Call me what you will but I don't think this cast a shadow of mental feebleness on the ville or its residents or officials. It was fantasy from the get-go with a touch of possible realism to suck you all in. Apparently I accomplished that goal with some and some of you are mad at me for it.
Life goes on...

Hey, is Matt Stewart running this blog? I see the same kind of attitude.
What and put Boley's old motel out of business????
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The sad thing is that the real joke is on us. Yeah, we have got to call this place home:(
I can't believe some of these comments. It was a freaking joke. April Fool's Day. Ha Ha. Get over it.
Oh, and Pearl. Yes I agree with you. Calling me a moron is hilarious. That was very original. Did you make that up or did a, ahem, first grader write that for you? More great material like that and you could have your own blog.
