West Augusta Hotel Plans Move Forward After Church, Neighborhood Reach Agreement

By Tina Terry tterry@nbcaugusta.com

Plans to build a new Marriott hotel near a west Augusta neighborhood are moving forward.

The Kingston Neighborhood Association and Curtis Baptist Foundation have agreed on plans for a hotel on 11 acres of property owned by the church.

People in the Kingston subdivision were once opposed to the idea of building the hotel near their homes. Now neighbors say it's okay as long as the hotel agrees to put up an eight-foot wood fence around the hotel and limit back lighting.

Augusta Commissioners are expected to decide on the zoning change on Tuesday.
