Holiday Inn Express Coming to Antigo
According to the Antigo Daily Journal, plans are a go for a new Holiday Inn Express to be built on Antigo’s north side. While I don’t feel the need to complain about this project, I do wonder how it will do and if it will still be functioning in 15 years. Certain times of the year, yes, Antigo does attract visitors, but, majority of the year, no, Antigo does not. Which is exactly what we need – activities and events to attract visitors. If more industry doesn’t come into Antigo soon, I’m afraid more and more residents will leave the area. There are too few companies that pay a decent wage in this town. The ones that do, fill up fast. I really don’t think the wages for working at a Holiday Inn are going to be an improvement over what is currently here. And of course, instead of using existing empty buildings, they are going to build it. So, probably 20 years from now (if that long) it will be another eyesore waiting to be tore down.
