The developer of the Marriott hotel and event center east of Interstate 35 in Clear Lake has met its first milestone since the city amended how it would receive $1.2 million in economic development incentives. The Clear Lake City Council unanimously approved bills and claims including $400,000 for JSM Investment LLC, of Johnston, for completing project framing and having the building dried in and drywall started at its meeting earlier this month. Construction is ongoing at the Marriott-branded hotel in Clear Lake. Lisa Grouette âThe city is very pleased with the progress HCI has made on the building to-date,â said Scott Flory, Clear Lake city administrator.
