A town hall to talk about the future of the Hotel Marysville site was held on Thursday as part of the city's ongoing efforts to secure a federal grant to clear the site safely.

Dozens attended to share their ideas for the future of the site that hasn't been in active use for decades. The Hotel Marysville was abandoned and sat vacant for forty years before a fire in June 2024 damaged the five-story structure still standing. The city opted to demolish what was left, as the burned-out building posed safety risks, and since then, the pile of debris, some of it toxic, has sat on the site.
