Progress on the project to bring the old Palace Hotel back to life. Developer Tom Carter is tearing up the inside of the historic building, and photos he’s shown to the Ukiah City Council show he’s come a long way since he bought it a little over a year ago. Council members say they’re amazed by what Carter has done and are urging him to continue work on the Palace to make sure it is no longer a public safety hazard. Carter says he already has investors interested in reviving the building, but that it could be more than a year until that happens.
