Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 (edited) Ground is broken and the grading underway. The address will be 8 Marietta Court; Edgewood, New Mexico. The location is just south of the freeway behind the Tractor Supply Company and is just 6 miles from the Founders Ranch front gate using paved roads. See this local news article: http://www.mvtelegraph.com/news/new-hotel-coming-to-edgewood/article_693007d6-d9bd-11e5-b349-97478eef6537.html. May 14, 2016 update: Grading is complete. Some curbing is complete and pillars for exterior lighting have been poured with wiring showing. No foundation poured yet. Aug 20, 2016 update: There is little apparent progress. The only change I saw was the site is now fenced. Other than that the site looks like it did back in May. Sept. 4, 2016 update: No change since my last visit to the construction site other than weeds are growing undisturbed. Nov. 12, 2016 update: construction underway with walls going up. See the following video. Edited November 14, 2016 by Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Quote
Dantankerous Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 How's the hotel construction coming along? Quote
Dantankerous Posted November 2, 2016 Posted November 2, 2016 November now. How is progress on the hotel coming? Quote
Jackaroo, # 29989 Posted November 17, 2016 Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) So is SASS going to negotiate a special deal for us Cowboys? Should be finished by June I'd think.? That's close by the great little Chinese restaurant and not far from that fabulous pizza place. Maybe Comfort Inn will take advance bookings.....opening special!!! Why don't my smilie icons come up when using an iPad.?? Edited November 17, 2016 by Jackaroo, # 29989 Quote
Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted December 29, 2016 Author Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) It's December 28th and I visited the construction site. Workers were adding the 4th floor and windows were installed on the lower floors. Maybe this property will be ready for EOT 2017.

Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted May 20, 2017 Author Posted May 20, 2017 Drove by the property yesterday. The exterior is complete though the parking lot is unpaved. 1 Quote
Dantankerous Posted May 30, 2017 Posted May 30, 2017 I am going to surmise that this will be ready for EoT 2018... Quote
Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted June 4, 2017 Author Posted June 4, 2017 I was at Founders Ranch today with a work party prepping the ranch for EOT. While in Edgewood I drove by the Comfort Inn to check on progress. A contractor had a crew working in the entrance. The parking lot is graded and 80% covered with gravel. I expect paving will begin soon. Quote
Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted June 22, 2017 Author Posted June 22, 2017 I dined in Edgewood today after shooting EOT. The new Comfort Inn has their signs mounted on the exterior walls. The gravel piles are all laid and graded and were being watered. Many construction vehicles were present with crews working inside. Quote
Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted July 8, 2017 Author Posted July 8, 2017 Shot with the High Desert Drifters today then dined at the Pizza Barn. While in Edgewood I checked out the Comfort Inn. The parking lot is now paved. See the picture below: Quote
Shotgun Clay Posted July 15, 2017 Posted July 15, 2017 Clocked it this morning, 9.2 miles from the parking lot to the main gate at Founder's. Quote

I checked the Comfort Inn official website. You can now book rooms in this property in June of 2018 during EOT. The booking software indicates the property will be open in December of this year.

Shotgun Clay Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 Founder's will also be hosting the 2018 New Mexico Sporting Clays Championship in September. Seeing that the 2017 shoot in Lincoln Co. last weekend drew 197 shooters, and lodging was 1 hour away, this should be another big plus for us. Quote
