Hawkeye Hotels expands portfolio with Pittsburgh acquisition
Coralville-based Hawkeye Hotels has closed on the
acquisition of the Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton in
Cranberry Township, 20 miles north of Pittsburgh, in
a move that expands its footprint in the northeastern
United States.
With this acquisition, the company is positioned to
develop additional hotels in the Pittsburgh area,
across Pennsylvania and beyond. Hawkeye Hotels
is also developing a 150-room Holiday Inn in Erie,
which is under construction and expected to open in
2020.
"We are excited to explore further opportunities in
Pittsburgh and surrounding markets as we continue
to grow our development pipeline and hotel
portfolio," said Om Patel, director of development for
Hawkeye Hotels, in a release. "We look forward to
developing new partnerships in this region."

stages of development include: the historic Hotel Fort Des Moines in downtown Des Moines, Iowa; three
new hotels within one block of downtown Milwaukee; 14 hotels in the greater Minneapolis area; and two
of the newest Moxy brand hotels by Marriott - in downtown Omaha, Nebraska, and downtown St. Louis.
The Iowa-based company is venturing into the northeast after developing, redeveloping and operating
dozens of hotels in other regions of the United States.
This particular Hampton Inn & Suites in Cranberry opened less than a year ago and includes a modern
design, plus a fitness center, business center and indoor pool. Located in central Cranberry, this
Hampton Inn & Suites serves one of the fastest growing areas in the Pittsburgh metro area.
Hawkeye Hotels was founded in 1982 with one roadside hotel in Mena, Arkansas. Today, the firm owns
and operates over 50 hotels across the country. Hawkeye Hotels employs over 1,500 staff across its
portfolio of hotels and corporate offices. The firm maintains lasting affiliations with brands such as
Marriott, Hilton, InterContinental and Starwood.

NewBoCo collaboration among Google Impact Challenge winners
The New Bohemian Innovation Collaborative, a joint project with the Iowa Department of Corrections, was
one of five winning nonprofits for Iowa's Google.org Impact Challenge, Google announced Friday.
The Cedar Rapids-based organization is expanding its current coding boot camp to train incarcerated
individuals to become software developers and find gainful employment opportunities upon their release.
The partnership with the state department of corrections will be piloted in the Iowa Women's Correctional
Institution in Mitchellville.
All five winning organizations will receive $175,000 and Iowans are invited to vote for the 'People's Choice'
winner, who will be awarded an additional $125,000. In total, Google.org will contribute $1 million to Iowan
nonprofit organizations through the Impact Challenge. The Google.org Impact Challenge supports 'Grow
with Google,' the tech company's initiative to create economic opportunities for people across the
country.
"Iowa is incredibly diverse and has talented nonprofit organizations working to create opportunities in
each of their communities," said Dan Harbeke, head of public policy and external affairs at Google in
Council Bluffs, in a statement. "We're excited to celebrate 10 years in Iowa by announcing the winners of
the Google.org Impact Challenge in Iowa; we hope to help these organizations bring great ideas to life."

Collins Aerospace joint venture awarded $22M contract
Collins Elbit Vision Systems, LLC (CEVS), a joint venture between Collins Aerospace Systems and Elbit
Systems of America, was awarded a $22 million firm-fixed price contract for the production and delivery of
Night Vision Cueing and Display (NVCD) systems for the U.S. Navy, and for the governments of Australia
and Switzerland.
Work for the systems will be completed by February 2021.
The NVCD works with the Joint Helmet Mounted Cueing Systems, extending many of the benefits of the
original system for use in night operations. Those capabilities include innovative head-tracking technology
and a helmet mounted display that shows mission critical symbology for aviators. NVCD also provides
the ability to record video of what is seen by the aviator while using the system.
