Threefoot Project Dead…. for Now
By
Mayor Cheri Barry
HRI Properties is walking away from the Threefoot project … at least for now.
The New Orleans based developer — Historic Renovations sent the City of Meridian an e-mail Tuesday alerting them they were terminating their agreement with the city to renovate downtown Meridian’s Threefoot building into an upscale hotel.
Meridian Mayor Cheri Barry said she received the e-mail from HRI at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday saying they were “not moving forward with the Threefoot project.”

I am disappointed the Mayor has decided to hold on this issue. Destruction of the Threefoot Building will be the worst mistake Meridian can ever make. Losing historic buildings, especially this one, will kill Meridian.
