The Gulfstream Hotel — long dormant, long a city eyesore — lives, or, at the very least, has a pulse and is poised for a resurgence.
After a two-hour discussion, the City Commission by a 3-2 vote on first reading Tuesday night approved a key zoning change that will allow Hudson Holdings to move forward with its $60 million plan to restore the historic hotel and the surrounding site a block from the Intracoastal Waterway. The developer also intends to lure an upscale luxury hotel annex to the area.
Commissioners Christopher McVoy and Ryan Maier opposed the change.
