WE’RE TOLD THE THIRD WILL BE CHARGED ONCE THEY ARE IDENTIFIED. HYDE. THE FORMER REGENCY INN AND SUITES IN GREENSBORO WAS SUPPOSED TO BE TRANSFORMED INTO HOUSING FOR THE HOMELESS, BUT THAT HASN’T HAPPENED YET AND FOLKS AREN’T HAPPY ABOUT IT. KELLY KENDALL SPOKE WITH NEARBY RESIDENTS ABOUT WHAT THEY’RE CALLING AN EYESOR. PEOPLE TELL ME THEY ARE NOT HAPPY THAT THIS BUILDING, THE REGENCY INN AND SUITES, CONTINUES TO SIT EMPTY, AND YOU CAN SEE WHY THERE ARE DOORWAYS, BOARDED UP, TRASH STREWN ABOUT, AND PEOPLE NEARBY SAY THAT IT’S BEEN THIS WAY FOR YEARS. THE GREENSBORO CITY COUNCIL DISCUSSED LAST NIGHT NEW PLANS TO TRANSFORM THIS BUILDING, BUT A CONSENSUS WASN’T REACHED. NEARLY A YEAR AGO, THE CITY OF GREESBORO PARTNERED WITH THE NONPROFIT STEP UP TO TRANSFORM THE REGENCY INN AND SUITES INTO HOUSING FOR THE HOMELESS. BUT STEP UP PROPOSED A NEW PLAN AT LAST NIGHT’S GREENSBORO CITY COUNCIL MEETING TO TEAR DOWN THE MOTEL AND BUILD NEW AFFORDABLE HOUSING UNITS. STEP UP OFFERED NO TIMELINE OF THIS PROJECT, PROMPTING SKEPTICISM FROM SOME CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS ON WHY IT’S TAKEN SO LONG. IT JUST SEEMS LIKE WE’VE BEEN SOLD ON A PROMISE AND IT’S NOT BEING DELIVERED. IT’S INCREDIBLE. I’VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING AS POORLY FACILITATED AS THIS PROJECT IN THE MEANTIME, PEOPLE LIVING NEAR THE PROPERTY SAY IT’S FRUSTRATING THAT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. WE TALKED TO ONE RESIDENT WHO WANTED TO REMAIN ANONYMOUS. SHE HAS LIVED IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD SINCE 1996. SHE SAYS THE MOTEL WAS ONCE PROSPEROUS, BUT FOR YEARS NOW IT’S SAT LIFELESS. IT MAKES THE NEIGHBORHOOD LOOK DRAB, SHE SAYS SHE WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT TURNED INTO MORE HOUSING, A PLACE WHERE FAMILIES CAN THRIVE. JUST SOMETHING TO MAKE THE NEIGHBORHOOD MORE PRODUCTIVE. LET THE NEIGHBORHOOD BE ABLE TO USE THE FACILITY. YOU KNOW THAT WOULD BE IDEAL FOR STEP UP SAYS IT SHIFTED FROM ITS ORIGINAL PLAN TO TRANSFORM THE CURRENT BUILDING BECAUSE OF ITS STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES. ON THE PROPERTY. WHILE SOME CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS ARE IN FAVOR OF THE PROPOSAL, OTHERS AREN’T QUITE SURE IT’LL GET DONE. OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS US TO MOVE QUICKLY. PEOPLE ARE HOUSE LESS. THEY CAN’T WAIT GREENSBORO MAYOR NANCY VAUGHAN SAID THAT SHE IS IN FAVOR OF THE PROPOSAL TO TEAR DOWN THE REGENCY IN, BUT ASKED THAT STEP UP, PROVIDE A TIMELINE AND BUDGET IN TWO WEEKS IN GREENSBORO. I’M KELLY KENDALL, WXII I 12 NEWS. HAPPENING NOW. FIVE MARINES ARE STILL MISSING AFTER THEIR HELICOPTER DISAPPEARED DURING A TRAINING EXERCISE AROUND NINE THIS MORNING.
