Lanier Islands is hoping to draw a second hotel to the South Hall County resort within 18 months, sales director Mike DiLeone said Tuesday. “Talks are underway right at this moment,” he said, speaking after a presentation at the resort to the Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce’s South Hall Business Coalition. “If we can have that (second hotel) up and running, that allows us the ability to go out and bring in more regional and national groups, meetings and conferences that we can accommodate on an overflow basis,” DiLeone said.
