Renovation of Crumbling Motels Highlights EvoCity Revival
The former motel on Downtown Road was an example of what EvoCity has become over the years, a crumbling ruin which has turned into a shopping centre for criminals.
The old motel was deconstructed and Lacy McNugget (), an experienced businesswoman, purchased and renovated the property for $250 000, it has since been renamed as the "Caliente Motel". A mere six rooms were build but this project has been one of the most visible signs of EvoCity finally turning the corner and looking towards a new future.
In terms of affordability, the rooms cost $500 a night with free access to the pool or one can purchase a permanent room for $2 000. "It's cheaper than buying a new house," said McNugget, "And you got everything here."
McNugget is also planning to help the community in several ways; "homeless people get one free night and a ride to the nearest homeless centre," she said, "cannot really do much as I do not have money yet, but as I said, for now we are only focusing on motel."
Customers have been entering at a moderate rate; "it needs a lot of decoration so we are keeping things slowly," said McNugget, "but it is a good location, there are no loud sounds like factories and people are liking it."
