A big  announcement was made earlier today that should have an impact on Flin Flon’s downtown. Windam Hotels have bought the Flin Flon Hotel property and will be opening up a brand new Ramada Hotel slated for 2025.

Flin Flon Mayor  George Fontaine was on hand for the announcement at Pioneer Square today and couldn’t be happier about the future of this community.

"  It's just the beginning, we got a great start. we have big plans that we want to continue with and this is a heck of a big boost for the downtown area. This is a chance to revitalize and let the community know we arn't going any where. This town is not going to shrink and it is going to grow. There is a lot more industry in the back ground that we have been hearing about and we are being informed about. There are a lot of positive signs."

The new hotel will feature between 80 and 100 rooms, a meeting room, conference room and a small restaurant and a brand new parking lot.  The plan is to use the Flin Flon Hotel as a shell and expand with a new building around it.
