From Lancaster Online
It was January 2015 when developers of the Lancaster Marriott at Penn Square proposed adding a second tower to their 300-room hotel.
Two reports had warned that a shortage of rooms within walking distance was impacting business at the adjacent Lancaster County Convention Center.
Adding capacity, they advised, would allow the complex to attract more large events and retain ones that might otherwise outgrow it.
Now, 4 1/2 years later, the finishing touches are being put on the $39.4 million project.

First 100% solar-powered Marriott in U.S.
From LancasterOnline
Russ Urban, the president of High Hotels, has long been intrigued by renewable energy sources such as solar power.
But there’s a problem with trying to meet a hotel’s energy needs entirely by using solar power — the typical hotel roof is too small to hold all the solar panels required.
So, to generate enough electricity for its Courtyard by Marriott hotel in the Greenfield Corporate Center, High Hotels will install 2,700 solar panels atop a large industrial building about a third of a mile away.
