City council will hold a special meeting next week to decide whether to uphold a staff decision to revoke the business licence of Queensway Court Motel.
No further details were provided in a notice sent out Tuesday but the motel was the scene of a shooting earlier this year and licences have been pulled in the past for businesses RCMP have found to be magnets for crime.
That very thing happened to the Connaught Motor Inn in July 2016. In the 18 months prior to the move, RCMP had received more than 700 calls for service at the motel, most related to drugs, prostitution and theft. A dramatic drop in crime was noticed in the aftermath.
The motel has since been reopened under new ownership and a different name. It also no longer allows month-long stays. In contrast, RCMP have described Queensway Court as a "rental motel."
The special meeting is set for Wed., Sept. 5, 6 p.m. start. It's open to the public and will be streamed live on the city hall website, princegeorge.ca.
Donald Justin Johnny Baker, 23, remains in custody on eight charges including attempted murder with a firearm from the May 1 incident at the 1616 Queensway St. location.
