TELL US: Hotel, Housing Or Something Else at the Cummings Center?

The plan for a hotel at the Cummings Center was suspended last week.

The plan for a six-story hotel at the Cummings Center was suspended last week, and we want to know what you'd like to see in the space. 

The proposed space for the 140-room hotel at the corner of McKay and Elliott Street is currently zoned for commercial/industrial buildings.  

Mayor Bill Scanlon told the Salem News he'd be 'reluctant' to a residential building at the site, and if proposed, the change would have to go through the Zoning Board of Appeals.

The possibility of a hotel hasn't been ruled out indefinitely, but for the time being the project will be suspended until 2013.
