The Inn has been open since the Spring of 1979 and presently is showing a profit both in the motel operations as well as the restaurant. 2. THE PROJECT The Inn has asked that the Port Authority consider the issuance of $1 ,370,000 in industrial development revenue bonds to finance the construction of two additional floors to The Inn representing a 60 room addition which would bring the total number of rooms to 208.
