4-after-ssirp-ne-viewTax Credit Consultant Also Signs On

Save The Sherburne Inn Restoration Project, Inc., announced this week that Hospitality Concepts Group has signed on as the hospitality consulting company with the potential to operate The Sherburne Inn.

HCG’s leadership team, William “Ben” Eberhardt III, Debra Soule, and Peter Younglove, also manage the Colgate Inn in Hamilton, the Red Mill Inn in Baldwinsville, The Gould Hotel in Seneca Falls, The Sherwood Hotel in Greene, and No. 10 restaurant, also in Hamilton.

“We’ve been meeting with HCG and working throughout the summer to reach the point where both HCG and SSIRP were comfortable with this partnership,” SSIRP President Kathleen Yasas said. “After many conversations about vision, management style, and timing, we’ve concluded that Ben and his group are the perfect fit for the future of The Sherburne Inn.”

SSIRP and HCG will work together with preservation architect Randy Crawford in planning the next phase of work, which will include interior design of the first floor and of guest rooms on the upper floors. Once the Inn is open, HCG will manage operations of the restaurant, bars, and hotel.

“The Sherburne Inn is a vital gem for our region,” Eberhardt said. “Its rich history and relationship to the community will provide a critical contribution to the future of regional economic development and community cohesion.”

Exterior work on the building, under the guidance of Syracuse firm Crawford & Stearns, began last summer and included brick pointing and general masonry, window restoration, porch deck and porch roof work, trim painting, and column restoration. Work began again Oct. 7 to complete window restoration.

“Individual donations continue to come in toward the match of our second state grant of $500,000, about which we are very appreciative,” Yasas said. “We’re anticipating that our tax credit investors will put us over the top on the match.”
