CONWAY — Like the snail darter fish that held up construction of a dam in Tennessee and the spotted owl that did the same to logging old growth forests in the Pacific Northwest, the proposed hotel in Intervale has its own symbol that residents opposed to the project are rallying behind — a huge maple.
Tonight, dozens of residents, mostly from Intervale, are expected to attend a Conway Planning Board meeting being held at 7 p.m. in the Conway Rec Department’s Marshall Gym at 176 Main St., Conway Village, to speak against the plan to build a 98-room hotel on the site of the Intervale Motel, a 1950s-era now-closed relic with 16 rooms.
