MANASSAS — The developers of a new Tru by Hilton Hotel will receive a $10,000 grant from the Manassas Economic Development Authority once the new hotel opens.
The $10,000 check from the EDA to hotel developer Holladay Properties amounts to a quarter of the organization’s total budget for economic incentives for 2018. The money will go to help offset the cost of development permits and fees and will be given after the hotel obtains its occupancy permit from the city.
