Goodbyes are in order for a dilapidated former business located on Highway 40 in Roosevelt. Roosevelt City announced last week that Western Hills Motel is scheduled for demolition the first week of January. Construction fence is in place around the perimeter and crews have started work removing items of value. The Western Hills Motel is in disrepair and has been unoccupied for several years, drawing criminal activity. Roosevelt City staff has assisted in helping the demolition move forward in order to open up the property for development opportunities. “We continue to find partnerships and opportunities to help improve the city,” shares Roosevelt City Manager Ryan Snow. “We believe that taking down a dilapidated motel and working with the property owner to move that forward is a great benefit. It’s another sign of how we’re consistent with improving the city one step at a time, one area at a time.” Demolition is scheduled to begin
January 2nd.
