    3.12 - The Main Thing, Part Three
    Aug 1 2025
    When Grapevine's elected leaders set out to build something special at the South end of Main Street, they had most of the components lined up: a parcel of land to shape as needed, voter-approved passenger rail access, and a vision for the final piece of the puzzle. For decades, they had dreamed about a downtown hotel. Now, they finally got to search for a partner who could build something to match their vision... while conforming to a few intense code requirements.

    This is Part Three of our miniseries on the City's iconic new Public-Private Partnership:
