Riverwalk expansion

WILMINGTON, Del. (WPVI) -- A new hotel is coming to the Riverwalk in Wilmington.

The project will cost 23 million dollars and create 175 construction jobs.

The new building will be adjacent to the big fish grill and will include a banquet room and outdoor patio for events.

The ONIX group will manage the hotel, while big fish handles the dining side of things.

Developers expect to break ground later this summer, for plan on hiring 60 employees with an opening date some time next summer.
