⚾ On Wed July 12, 2023, City Administrator Dohoney sent an email stating: ”I am setting up an offsite meeting at a location that will be identified shortly. SI (Sports Illustrated) is moving around the country identifying cities where they can develop 4/5 star sports themed hotels. In some cities they are including convention meeting space. They are curious about what is possible in Ann Arbor. They prefer a downtown site or if that can’t work, and site near the Big House. SI has contracted with Cobblestone Development, a firm out of Texas. I have a professional and personal relationship with the CEO of Cobblestone. It is through discussions with him that this meeting came about.” ⚾
