The Debacle on Route 66

If you were hoping for a Comfort Suites hotel on Route 66, along with a family entertainment center featuring a "boutique" bowling alley, a lazer tag arena, and a climbing wall, you are in for a great disappointment. The Register-Star reports this morning that Harbalwant Singh, the man with the vision that "Route 66 will be totally Route 9 in Poughkeepsie," has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy and is being personally sued by the Columbia Economic Development Corporation (CEDC) for the money it lent him: "Greenport Crossing owner declares bankruptcy."

  3. Poor due diligence.
    And a motel/hotel at this location??? Another ill fated idea. Does anyone really believe this would be a good location for those traveling to Hudson? I thin we should be thankful this failed before more good money was spent on a poor idea.
