Site preparation continues in Russells Point for the new Indian Lake Cobblestone Hotel & Suites. Ground clearing and earthwork started a little over 2 weeks ago. [Click here to see pictures from Day 1 and learn more about the Indian Lake Cobblestone Hotel & Suites.]

McGuire Farm & Excavating officially broke ground this morning at the future site of Indian Lake's new Cobblestone Hotel. 

After more than a year in the planning stages, the Indian Lake Chamber of Commerce announced in May that a new 54-room Cobblestone Hotel is coming to Indian Lake. Currently there are no hotels within 9 miles of the lake.

A group of 17 investors, most with ties to Indian Lake, have committed to the eight million dollar project. The site is located on the southeast corner at the intersection of Route 33 and Lincoln Blvd. in Russells Point (next to Subway and diagonal across from McDonald's). The location provides a view of the lake and high visibility as well as plenty of room for parking and future expansion if needed.

The new Cobblestone hotel will feature a mix of short term and long term stay suites, ADA compliant units, a swimming pool, conference room, breakfast room, exercise room, laundry and outdoor patio.
Headquartered in Neenah, Wisconsin, Cobblestone Hotels prides itself on filling the lodging needs of communities throughout the United States.
​
Since January of 2008, the brand has expanded to over 162 hotels in 29 states, including the new hotel in Urbana, Ohio where McGuire Farm & Excavating broke ground in August of 2019.

McGuire Farm & Excavating broke ground this week at the City of Urbana's Water Reclamation Facility. Construction is underway to install a new Septage Receiving Station along with other excavation and construction projects. In 2020, the City of Urbana's Water Reclamation Facility processed 53 million gallons of septage waste!

Construction will continue at this project at this site well into the Spring of 2022.

As you're driving around Champaign County this month, you may spot McGuire Farm & Excavating's crew on the corner of 54 and Hickory Grove Road, where the old Urbana Local Building once stood.  The crew is busy building a new state-of-the-art potato barn for Michael Farms.

The McGuire Farm & Excavating crew spent the morning at the Champaign County Fairgrounds.  They tore down the old goat barn and are installing a new barn pad for the new facility. 

All demolition and site preparation were donated to the youth and fairgoers of Champaign County.  

Working alongside the City of Urbana's Public Works crew, we'll be replacing a waterline on Washington Street and West Court Street for two weeks beginning April 7th. Washington Street will be closed from Miami to Russell streets during the project.

Contact us if you'd like a quote for our services this spring and summer, and we'll get you on our schedule after we're done with this project.

The new Cobblestone Hotel & Suites in Urbana officially opens to guests on Friday, June 12th. Beds are made, the final touches have been added and the staff eagerly awaits the arrival of the first visitors!

McGuire Farm & Excavating was with the project from Day 1, clearing the land last August to make it all possible. You can see all of the progress through the past 10 months on our blog, "McGuire on the Move".

The finishing touches are underway at the Cobblestone Hotel & Suites in Urbana. McGuire Farm & Excavating has been making steady progress on projects at this site since breaking ground and clearing the land back in August of 2019.

We're proud to have been with this project since the beginning and can't wait until the finished product is revealed to the public very soon.

McGuire Farm & Excavating visited Urbana University this morning for a quick excavating project. The University needed a flag pole, some bushes and some landscaping removed so a new Blue Knight and Horse sculpture could be installed in front of their athletic facilities on the center of campus. We took some pictures of the excavation beginning, and we'll try to update the site with a finished picture of the new sculpture once it's been installed.
