STROUDSBURG, Pa. — Piles of debris sit behind gates at the old Penn Hills Resort near Stroudsburg.
Stroud Township officials recently demolished the wood-frame buildings after a slew of arsons left the place in shambles.
"Right now, it's an eyesore. People go by it and see it abandoned, but it has a lot of potential," said Isaac Garcia from Stroud Township.
A couple from New York bought the property two years ago, but Stroud Township officials say they did nothing to better it.
