BLOOMINGDALE, Ill. (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- A hearing slated for Tuesday on the future of a west suburban hotel has been cancelled after the owners have agreed to close following a fatal shooting last month.
The Indian Lakes Hotel will remain closed and the owners are putting the property up for sale, according to Bloomingdale village leaders.
The move comes a month after one person died and four others were injured in a shooting at the hotel.
The village was weighing whether or not to revoke its business license, but the owners First Hospitality Group have agreed to keep it closed. They plan to list the hotel, which was designed by a student at Frank Lloyd Wright, and the 20-acre property for $6.5 million.
"It is never the intent of the village to revoke a business license, but the concerns and lack of response by the owner which eventually led to the tragic February incident left the village with no alternative," Village President Franco Coladipietro said in a statement. "The village is eager to start a new chapter at Indian Lakes and re-imagine the property for a better future that will make the community proud."
The future of Indian Lakes is unclear, but the land is zoned for hotel use.
