Cincinnati, OH, August 26, 2026 —

Athena Hospitality Group has put forth plans for a substantial mixed-use development in Florence, Kentucky, with an estimated cost of $100 million. The proposed project encompasses the construction of two hotels, a restaurant, and a new corporate headquarters. The development is slated to occupy nearly 15 acres of land situated along Houston Road.

The initial phase of the proposal has seen a positive reception, with a Planning Commission subcommittee recommending the project for approval. The proposal will now advance to the full Planning Commission for further consideration. Following that review, the project will be presented to the Florence City Council for a final decision.

Details regarding the specific hotel brands, restaurant concepts, or the timeline for the proposed construction were not immediately available. The full scope of the development’s impact on the local area, including potential job creation and economic benefits, is expected to be a key focus during the upcoming commission and council reviews.
