Former Holiday Inn To House Nonviolent Offenders
WEST VIRGINIA....
The state of West Virginia has acquired the former Holiday Inn property in Parkersburg from Jim Weigle of Vienna for $2.2 million and now has plans to convert the hotel into a work release facility for nonviolent offenders. The state Department of Administration says the 110,000-square-foot building would become a minimum security monitoring facility. Weigle unsuccessfully sued the West Virginia Department of Transportation in 2007, claiming the hotel was successful until Corridor D was built, and the highway changed the traffic pattern in the area.
