New conference center and hotel coming to Oakhurst

OAKHURST, Calif. (KFSN) -- A project is expected to break ground next year to bring a new hotel and conference center to Oakhurst.

The Madera County Supervisors approved the agreement Tuesday giving Yosemite Resort LLC the green light to start work.

The more than $20 million project would include 100-plus units and upscale cabins.

There would also be a conference center that would seat around 500 people.

It's estimated the resort would add about 80 jobs in the community
