It may be many months before the Wyndham Springfield City Centre Hotel can reopen. The 370-room, 30-story hotel at 700 E. Adams St. in downtown Springfield was damaged by internal flooding on March 27 and has been closed since then. An initial estimate from the Wyndham’s owner that the hotel would be closed for up to 90 days increased in the past month. A reopening now could be delayed for up to 120 days, according to Scott Dahl, director of the Springfield Convention and Visitors’ Bureau.

Christopher Stone, part-owner and managing member of Springfield Partners IV LLC, the company making the TIF request, wouldn't say which level of government would potentially rent the connected three- and four-story brick buildings at 529 S.
