SAVANNAH, GA Service Corp. International, which owns the Fox & Weeks Funeral Directors complex here, is selling the property to Richard Kessler, a nationally known hotelier, according to the Savannah Morning News. Kessler plans to build an upscale hotel, restaurant and parking garage in place of the funeral home.
The sales price was between $1 million and $10 million and the Chatham County-Savannah Metropolitan Planning Commission has already voted to approve a zoning change for the property. The new zoning classification allows the sale and consumption of alcohol. (5/4/01)
