Strategy
Workforce Basecamp
Essential Crew Infrastructure
This is not a tourism play. This is a Workforce Basecamp. Newcomerstown sits at the intersection of I-77 and US-36, serving as the northern gateway to the massive drilling operations in Harrison and Guernsey Counties.
With EOG Resources and Encino Energy ramping up activity, field crews need housing. They need direct room access, proximity to the fields, and affordable rates. This property delivers all three at a basis that is impossible to replicate.
-
Unique "Hybrid" Inventory 60 keys split between Interior and Exterior corridors. This allows you to house both roughnecks (who prefer exterior access) and engineers (who prefer interior security) at the same site.
-
Regional Crew Hub Ideally situated for crews rotating between drilling sites in Harrison, Guernsey, and Coshocton counties.
-
Simona Boltaron HQ Located minutes from a major aerospace manufacturer, providing steady white-collar vendor demand for the interior units.

Turnkey Asset
Strategic "Basecamp" Location
Ideally situated to capture demand from three distinct workforce segments.
The Energy Sector
Harrison & Guernsey Counties (South)
The epicenter of the Utica Shale boom. Drilling crews commute north to Newcomerstown for lodging because local housing is non-existent.
Aerospace Manufacturing
Simona Boltaron (Local)
A global leader in aircraft interiors. Visiting technicians, trainers, and specialized vendors require consistent, local lodging.
Construction Crews
Regional Infrastructure
With massive highway and utility projects slated for 2026 along I-77, this location serves as the primary billet for ODOT and private infrastructure contractors.
