Ely City Council Approves Demolition for Hotel and Parking Lot Project
What happened
The Ely City Council approved a proposal by Northeast Technical Services to provide professional services for the demolition of the old Ford Garage. As part of the process, the city traded another city-owned property to depot developers for the garage. Ely officials will lease the property to Matt Stupnik, who is renovating the former Community Center into the Hotel Elysium, which will use the garage property as off-street parking.
