HOGANSVILLE, Ga. (AP) - A historic Georgia hotel has been bought by a group that seeks to revitalize the town of Hogansville.
Pioneer Hogansville tells The LaGrange Daily News that it has bought Hogansville’s Grand Hotel and adjoining buildings. Public records show the group paid $1.65 million.
Pioneer co-founder Tim Morgan says the group aims to renovate and reopen the 11-room hotel, a cornerstone of the town’s downtown. Also included is a restaurant, bar, covered patio and two retail spaces spread across four parcels.
Hogansville is about 60 miles southwest of Atlanta.
The group says it will seek grants and other ways to finance renovations. Morgan said the current decor is dated and older items like televisions need to be replaced.
“We are really excited because we see the potential, not only for the Grand Hotel, but all the shops,” Morgan said.
Pioneer earlier helped start a coffeehouse in Hogansville’s former train station, as well as a pub.
