CONWAY — The Conway Planning Board spent close to 90 minutes last Thursday as it continued site-plan review of the 105-room, four-story hotel project, proposed to be build on the site of the existing Intervale Motel.
The 3.66-acre parcel and 16-room motel were sold by the John R. Cannell Revocable Trust to Viewpoint North Conway LLC, a Massachusetts group of investors headed by hotelier P.J. Patel, in December for $1.4 million. (NOTE: Corrected from print version).
