Eau Claire’s city council has signed-off on the plan to renovate the Regency.
The city council last night approved a zoning change for the Regency. It had been zoned for apartments, now it will be rezoned as a motel. The Regency’s new owners say they have a plan to renovate the motel, and make it the kind of place people actually want to stay. The Regency has had a long and troubled history, including a couple of attempts to simply tear it down.
