Not too long ago, this story was running a several news outlets:

A hotel and conference center right beside A&T would be a dream. I wonder what areas he is scouting? I think a hotel near the stadium would be a huge success. Just tear down some more of those raggedy Forest Grove homes and build the thing right across from Aggie Stadium.
Another good location would Market Street directly in front of campus. I read that the United House of Prayer (tall church across from the YMCA) purchased the old post office and plan to develop that site. That could be a great location for Logan and Faucette because the hotel would get business from A&T and Bennett, but I still prefer the stadium area.

A developer is planning hotel projects at two historically black colleges and scouting opportunities at four others, hoping to capture some of the growing revenue from visiting parents, sports teams and conferences.
Logan & Faucette plans a hotel with at least 60 rooms and a 15,000-square-foot conference center a few blocks from North Carolina Central University in Durham. The Durham-based company also has a contract with a Florida company to buy an 82-room hotel near Miles College in Fairfield, Ala.
It also has been scouting projects at North Carolina A&T State University in Greensboro, Fayetteville State University, Hampton University in Hampton, Va., and Howard University in Washington.
Developers have avoided building near historically black colleges because many are in economically depressed neighborhoods, Logan & Faucette president Keith Hempstead said.
