From the Niagara Falls Review:
It’s a question many people have asked while driving on Stanley Avenue near Dunn Street: Whatever happened to the Crown Plaza hotel?
Work was started on a concrete foundation. And there’s a large crane that seems to point in different directions on certain days.
But there doesn’t appear to have been much construction activity on the site.
Back in May 2005, city council appeared frustrated, feeling it had no recourse to get the project moving.
At that time, work had been stopped for weeks. Ald. Joyce Morocco raised a concern that if the work didn’t resume, they were “going to have a concrete slab in the heart of the tourism area.”
Mayor Ted Salci said that on a project of that size, permits are issued in phases. As far as the city is concerned, Salci said a permit was issued and that phase of the work has been completed.
As of recently, the owner has still not applied for the next phase of construction.
I’ve posted previously on the progress of the hotel…

The owner, Chris Rudan who owns Copacobana and the Sundowner and other niagara strip clubs is apparently having financing probs. Hard to believe considering all the money he skims tax free from his clubs.
Perhaps you should bring this to the attention of Revenue Canada (along with your proof, of course). They must have missed this for the past 30 years that the Rudans have been in business.
Are u serious? Bars are a cash business buddy, you can hide alot from the govt. when u deal in cash, especially when much of it comes off the backs of strippers. Wake up.
Johnny Wadd seems to be pretty rude.
Might be rude, but he’s right
Rugger, you’re funny.
