Interstate 55 Hotel Properties Update:
We know many of you have been eagerly awaiting news on the progress of the former Budget Inn and Knights Inn hotel clean-up, and we're thrilled to share a major update with you all!
π§ The removal of furnishings, appliances, glass, metal, and more has been successfully completed! This marks a significant milestone in our efforts to revitalize Grenada.
ποΈ Currently, we are in the process of accepting demolition bids as required by Mississippi statute. Bids must be submitted by April 1st, so there's still time for interested parties to get involved.
πͺ The scope of work for the demolition phase is extensive, requiring all buildings to be demolished and cleaned down to the concrete slabs. This thorough approach ensures a clean slate for the future development of our community.
β° Once a bid is awarded, the demolition process is expected to take several weeks. We'll keep you all updated with more details on the timeline once a contractor is in place.
ποΈ Post-cleanup, our next step is crucial: meeting with developers to discuss the best use, design, and facilities for Grenada. Your input will be invaluable as we shape the future of our town.
π Stay tuned for further updates and developments. We appreciate your patience and support as we navigate through this necessary process together.
Thank you for being part of Grenada's journey towards a brighter, more vibrant future! -via Grenada Area Chamber
