Flanagan Hotel (Malone, New York)
The Flanagan Hotel in
New York Central and Rutland Railroads
to town. It is currently partially renovated sitting at a standstill after Frank Cositore, the old owner got foreclosed on in 2009. After sitting for numerous years, he is trying to negotiate to buy back the 120+ year old hotel.
The hotel was planned to become a 5 star Best Western Hotel with multiple restaurants, a night club, and a pool on the Roof.[2] This was not widely appreciated by the community because it was considered overambitious.
There have been many new plans. For example, there is one that scales down the budget by 4 million dollars and breaks the project up into 3 more economically feasible small projects.[4] There has also been talk of turning the Flanagan in to college dorms for North Country Community College. Additionally NCCC has recently held community art exhibits in the partially renovated hotel.
