That hard work will soon pay off, as Cushman, CEO of Heron Hospitality, is gearing up to open The Harvey, located at 221 S. Front St. The 10-room hotel officially opens to guests today.
The original building was constructed for ship merchant John Harvey in approximately 1797. It has served many purposes since, including as a family home and a learning lab.
It’s a personal project for Cushman, whose mom grew up in New Bern.
