We of course think that beach hotels are wonderful things. But not everyone in Alabama in thrilled with plans for a new state-financed beach hotel. We get this report from the AP:
Plans for a state-financed hotel and convention center on the Alabama coast are still being legally challenged by a private resort even though the Alabama Supreme Court has ruled against a separate complaint the resort filed.
Bill Baxley, a Birmingham attorney who represents the Perdido Beach Resort, said Monday that two legal avenues were taken seeking to block the Gulf State Park Hotel.
The Alabama Supreme Court shelved one of those challenges Friday when it held that an amended complaint filed with Montgomery Circuit Judge Eugene Reese was properly dismissed by Reese.
But Baxley said a separate lawsuit also has been filed challenging the state’s latest plans for a beach hotel. That suit is now before Montgomery Circuit Judge Tracy McCooey.
The Perdido Beach Resort and others won in March 2009 when Gov. Bob Riley’s initial hotel plan was found to violate state law. A new law passed later last year allowed for revised plans.
