Bristol, Va., (August 27, 2018) — MB Contractors has broken ground and will provide construction management services for The Sessions Hotel in Bristol, Virginia.  The Sessions Hotel is an adaptive reuse involving the rehabilitation of three historic buildings on Goode and State Street in downtown Bristol.

The project will utilize state and federal tax credits to revitalize the classic architecture of downtown Bristol.  The Sessions Hotel is scheduled to open for operation in July 2019.
