The Travelodge hotel that used to be located at 285 Great Road is being demolished as a safety hazard at the request of Code Enforcement, according to Garber.
Last year, there was a site review plan for a fast food restaurant to move into 285 Great Road, but the proposal had to go before the Zoning Board of Appeals to seek a special permit, according to Garber.
