EDC board hires new hotel construction inspector

The Marble Falls Economic Development Corporation board of directors recently hired one contractor to observe ongoing construction of the new Ophelia Hotel and Conference Center overlooking Lake Marble Falls. During its May 7 meeting, the EDC board hired Mike Ingalsbe to serve as the city representative and ensure “construction activities” at the 300 block of Buena Vista Drive conform to the city ordinance codes, also federal and state law.

EDC Ingalsbe is a former Marble Falls building inspector with much experience, EDC Executive Director Christian Fletcher told the board.

“It will be good to have someone there with eyes and ears (at the hotel building site) and who knows what is going on,” Fletcher said.
