New hotel, conference centre for Marysville

The State Government has announced $19 million in funding for a major new hotel in Marysville.

A consortium, including the Vibe Hotel chain, has won the tender to build a new $28 million, four-star hotel and conference centre in the main street.

It will have 100 rooms and create about 60 ongoing jobs and is due for completion in 2014.

The residents attending the launch welcomed the announcement.

The town was virtually destroyed by the Black Saturday bushfires in 2009.
