FRUITPORT TOWNSHIP, Michigan – A non-compete agreement halted construction of two hotels in Fruitport Township, and they remain abandoned to this day.
FOX 17 brought you first this story in April. At that time, the community issued a decay ordinance which they hoped the property owner would cooperate with.
But the community has heard nothing from the owner but a barbecue.
People who do business near the abandoned hotels are tired of looking at the mess they left behind.
“For a lot of reasons. First and foremost, we work so hard to have a nice presence and image here in Norton Shores, and we want to make sure we’re following the rules and working with the community, and then … that’s right on top across the street, ”Subaru said sales manager Bill Ferry.
The community says the building will have to be dismantled at some point. It’s just caught up in a lot of red tape and an unresponsive owner.
