Hotel Pattee Public/Private Partnership
Perry Industries, Inc. (“PEDI”) and Perry Economic Development, Inc. (PED) are currently pursuing the purchase of the Hotel Pattee and La Poste assets in partnership with the City of Perry. The groups are focused on executing a public/private partnership model to both fund the purchase and subsequently manage the ongoing operation of the properties.
The groups are currently executing the $2 million public campaign phase as part of the overall capital campaign to purchase and operate the Hotel Pattee and LaPoste. This generational purchase opportunity will position the Hotel Pattee and LaPoste as locally-owned and operated, solidifying the long-term viability of these critical community assets. Renovated in 1993 as one of the finest boutique hotels in the U.S., Hotel Pattee remains a very significant economic asset to Perry, bringing as many as 65,000 people in one year since renovation. LaPoste provides a grand venue for several special events each year and has become a perfect complement to the facilities at the hotel.
As previously announced, Perry Industries, Inc. (“PEDI”) and Perry Economic Development, Inc. (PED) have an agreement with Maxwell Hospitality, LLC and HPLP, LLC. to purchase the Hotel Pattee and La Poste assets. The public private-partnership funding model for the purchase and subsequent operation of the two properties includes a combination of public funding and private contributions. A major component of the public portion of the funding model was solidified with the approval of a memorandum of understanding with the City of Perry at the February 1, 2021 Perry City Council meeting. That memorandum has the City of Perry making initial economic contributions to the project that total more than $650,000.
