Officials who confirmed the event, including Mississippi State University Vice President for Research and Economic Development David Shaw, Oktibbeha County's chief Golden Triangle Development LINK representative Joey Deason and Starkville Mayor Parker Wiseman, heralded the event as the most important step for the long-awaited development.
The $40 million development will transform the historic Cooley Building, which previously housed MSU's facilities management division, into a major conference center with office space; construct a large parking facility and a Marriot Courtyard Hotel; and develop at retail parcels in the area near the Russell Street-Miss. Highway 12 corridor, a tract of land officials have previously called the front door to the university.

Link says groundbreaking is Thursday. So, it seems like it's finally a done deal.
$40 mil initial investment is weak though for the "potential" of that tract of land. Seems to be a real nut-cut of the initial project...

Wiseman is also quoted as saying that he has no idea when construction will actually start

It is done this time. Major hurdle was financing and Park Service (historic site) objections. Financing is in place for phase 1 and Senator Cochran forced the Park Service to back off.
Phase 1 will be conference center, hotel, and parking garage.
