The final wall of a motel demolition project came down recently on a South Main Street property next to, and owned by, Statesboro First United Methodist Church, paving the way for future development by the church and simultaneously contributing to the ongoing South Main improvement project. First United Methodist Church purchased the property housing Aldred’s Trellis Garden Inn, along with two houses, in 1997 when the church bought the site from South Main back to College Street. The church set up a corporation to run the hotel at that time.
