Former Days Inn Building Comes Down Makes Way for New Business
Demolition of the former Days Inn Property began on Monday, April 18. Much of the building has since been taken down and clean-up will continue for the immediate future. Construction on a new hotel, restaurant, and coffee shop will begin sometime later this summer.
"The property had become somewhat of an eyesore," said Township Supervisor Ken Fletcher. "That is not what we want people to see when they enter or exit our Township. We are very excited for the new development and the rejuvenation of this long neglected property."
