The long-planned 220-room Doubletree Convention Center Hotel on Penn Street has received a $500,000 bolster from the state.
The developers, led by retailer Albert R. Boscov, had applied for an additional $2.5 million state grant.
“The governor came in with $3 million,” Boscov said Thursday.
He said the project earlier had been approved for $14 million in grants from the state’s Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program, but the developers applied for more.
