City and community leaders gathered in August to celebrate the groundbreaking of the highly anticipated Caravan Court Hotel redevelopment project. Located at the former site of the Caravan Motel on the southeast corner of Collins and Division streets, the project promises to honor Arlington’s rich history, particularly with the restoration and reuse of the iconic Caravan Motor Hotel sign—an homage to the historic Bankhead Highway.
The new 145-room hotel is poised to revitalize the area while preserving a piece of Arlington’s past. Further details about the project can be found in the latest issue of Invest in Our Economy, the City of Arlington’s quarterly newsletter. This digital publication features important city projects, including updates on Loews Arlington, which was recently named a two-time bronze winner by the International Economic Development Council (IEDC).
