CONWAY — Conway Planning Board alternate Steve Steiner, a commercial Realtor, said this week he is getting pushback from a local Realtors association over his opposition to the 105,386-square-foot hotel being proposed by developers for a 3.66-acre site in Intervale.
Steiner, who also sits on the Conway Zoning Board of Adjustment and is running to be a full-time planning board member, made that assertion while speaking from the audience at the planning board’s Feb. 25 meeting.
