Troubled Orange Park motel ordered by judge to close until end of year

The Rodeway Inn changed its name to the Parkway Inn.

Action News Jax has learned a troubled Clay County motel has been ordered to close next month.

The Parkway Inn, formerly known as the Rodeway Inn, has been a hot spot for crime for years.

The Town of Orange Park's attorney said a judge has ordered the motel closed from July 1 through December 31. At that time, the nuisance abatement jurisdiction expires and the motel can reopen.
