Construction of the Hotel Madison and The Shenandoah Valley Conference Center officially began Wednesday with the groundbreaking ceremony in Harrisonburg.
The project is the product of a four-member partnership involving Maryland real estate consulting firm dpM Partners, the James Madison University Foundation, JMU and the city of Harrisonburg.
The partners believe the hotel and conference center will help shape tourism and the economy of Harrisonburg and the Central Shenandoah Valley for years.
