The owner of a planned Holiday Inn Express has lauded the city’s efforts to revitalize the road leading to Graceland, home of iconic pop singer Elvis Presley. In an emailed statement, Sandip Patel, the owner of the planned Holiday Inn Express, said the city's "efforts and commitment to revitalize Elvis Presley Boulevard was a factor in the decision to build near Graceland."
To make the road more welcoming for tourists and more pleasant for residents of the working- and middle-class community of Whitehaven just past Graceland, the city has begun making a series of infrastructure improvements. Workers already have widened and repaved one main intersection and plan to do the same to several others. The $43 million project began early this year and is expected to be completed in 2016 or 2017.
