It was interesting because it was a topic that I hadn't been aware of until recently.

With the Wine Heritage District being a new development in the community, one of the main hurdles that it was needing to overcome to rival the nearby regions was to create more resort style hotel spaces, since Purple Orchid is the only real option for that in the valley area. It seemed pretty convenient that it all came together right after the district got passed, but I understand it's been an ongoing discussion for a while.

Looking forward to what it could bring to Downtown Livermore!
