The Tucson City Council gave the go-ahead to a major hotel project in downtown Tucson when it signed an agreement Thursday with Rio Nuevo and Nor-Generations.
The agreement lets Rio Nuevo take over as landlord of the temporary Greyhound bus station currently on the site of the proposed hotel development. That expedites the relocation of the station, allows Rio Nuevo to close on the sale of its part of the site to developer Nor-Generations, and allows the developer to move more quickly on construction.
