(Greendale, Ind.) - Greendale Mayor Vince Karsteter is excited to announce the development of a new Home2 Suites by Hilton® hotel in the City of Greendale, which will support Dearborn County’s vibrant tourism and entertainment industry.

Construction began this spring on Flossie Drive. Agreements in place between the Greendale Redevelopment Commission, Dearborn Community Development Corporation, and developer Greendale Hospitality, LLC outlines the developer’s commitment to build the 88-room hotel and open it to travelers by December 31, 2026. The project marks a $16.8 million investment in the city.

“With snow skiing at Perfect North Slopes, dirt track racing at Lawrenceburg Speedway, live music at Whiskey City’s Liberty Theater, and increasingly more activities and attractions happening year-round in Greendale and across our county, this new hotel will serve as needed, high-quality lodging for the thousands of people who visit our community every year,” said Mayor Karsteter.

The Greendale Redevelopment Commission is providing a $650,000 economic development grant to enable the project through the land site purchase. An agreement guarantees the new tax revenue collected from the development will help the city realize a full payback within 10 years, in addition to continuing return on investment for taxpayers for years afterward.

“The addition of this new hotel is an asset for our community and a win for our visitors,” said Debbie Smith, Executive Director of Dearborn County Tourism. “As Southeast Indiana continues to grow as a travel destination, having more lodging options allows us to better accommodate guests attending local events, exploring our historic towns, or enjoying our many attractions along the Ohio River. This investment strengthens tourism and supports continued economic development throughout the region.”

The Home2 Suites in Greendale will mark the second Hilton hotel in Dearborn County, following the 2014 opening of the DoubleTree by Hilton hotel at the Lawrenceburg Event Center.

“There is no better name in the hotel industry than Hilton. Greendale will continue to show our guests even better Hoosier hospitality thanks to the Home2 Suites project,” said Mayor Karsteter.
