Old motel to be adapted for industrial housing


The former Glostonian Motel will soon be the site of a housing complex for workers drawn to southwest Mississippi by the area's booming wood pellet and oilfield industries.


The Enterprise-Journal (http://bit.ly/1uoSMEc ) reports the development on Mississippi Highway 33 would be called Loblolly Lodge.


It would have a total of 64 guest rooms, a restaurant and a meeting room.


Owner Renee Priest says the property has been idle for years.


Priest's plans include renovation of the existing 16-room motel, followed by reworking the main building to house a restaurant, meeting room, administrative offices and a laundry.


The development's final phase would be to add 12 modular buildings to create 48 guest rooms. Each building would have four rooms with kitchenettes.
