Braintree Mayor Joe Sullivan tweeted on Wednesday saying, "Motel 6 is closed forever." Mayor Sullivan says the motel has been a problem in town for years.
.@braintreemayor says the Motel 6 owners have dropped their legal challenge to re-open after the court affirmed the town's position on the closure two times. Braintree will now have discussions with the property owner about moving forward. Motel 6 was a tenant on that property.
