CONWAY — The Conway Planning Board gave unanimous conditional approval last Thursday to plans that would demolish the closed Junge’s Motel and put up a new hotel, restaurant and bank on the property at 1858 White Mountain Highway in North Conway.
The site totals about 5.1 acres and consists of two lots — one containing the closed motel, long a landmark on the strip, and the other an adjacent field. The board OK’d a lot merger at the developer’s request.
