"A Springfield-based hotelier recently purchased a downtown office building, and hopes to convert it into a hotel catering to millennials.
Tim O'Reilly, founder and CEO of O'Reilly Hospitality Management, told the News-Leader Monday that his company has received preliminary approval from Maryland-based lodging giant Marriott International to turn the 430 South Avenue building into a Moxy hotel.
"It's very modern, and alternative," O'Reilly said of the brand. "It's very different from anything Springfield has."
