VERNON (KFDX/KJTL) — A new Fairfield by Marriott hotel is under construction in Vernon along East U.S. Highway 287, representing a $13 million investment into the community.

The hotel is expected to create around 25 jobs and is taking advantage of a five-year tax abatement. City Manager Darell Kennon highlighted that this development will contribute to the local tax roll over the long term.

“We want to enhance the quality of life for the citizens. So it just takes more money. And, because of the influx of these two businesses, it will really help the city [and] make Vernon a better place,” Kennon said

The new hotel will be a four-story building with a capacity of 79 rooms. Construction is expected to be completed by the spring of 2026.

With the completion of the Fairfield by Marriott, Vernon anticipates improvements in local employment and economic growth, aligning with the city’s goals for enhancing community life.
