BRISTOL, Tenn. — Site development plans have been submitted for a Holiday Inn Express off Exit 74 in Bristol, Tennessee.

Plans for the development obtained from the city by the Bristol Herald Courier indicate that the hotel would have 81 rooms and provide 84 parking spaces — one space for each room plus three handicap-accessible spaces. The property already features a high-tension electric tower and existing pylon sign.

Diamond Jubile Investments LLC. out of LaFollette, Tennessee, is listed as the owner of the 2.44-acre development.

The plans were drawn up by Benchmark Design, PLC in Johnson City, Tennessee.

Bristol Tennessee Economic Development Director Tom Anderson said the plans did not come with requests for any variances. He also said various departments and other bodies within the city of Bristol are still reviewing the plans to see if they meet city regulations and codes.

The hotel would be located along West State Street in what is currently an open field between a boat lot and the grand guitar building, according to the plans. This would put it in close proximity to three other hotels: the Hampton Inn, the Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott and the American Inn.
