The opening of a hotel on Rock Falls’ riverfront is being pushed back to late spring. Sauk Valley Media reports that the city learned last week that the company building the hotel -- Fitchburg, Wisconsin-based Landgraf Construction -- is ceasing operations and will be unable to finish the Holiday Inn Express & Suites on East Second Street.
The developers, Rock Falls Hotel Group, said the announcement was unexpected, but hotel construction will proceed. Switching construction firms, however, means the opening won’t happen till May.
The developers originally hoped to have the hotel open by the end of this year.
