Efforts To Convert The Old Budget Inn In Unicoi Into Housing For Hurricane Helene Victims Face Zoning And Legal Challenges, According To Mayor Kathy Bullen. The Motel, Owned By Shawn Miller, Requires Fire Marshal Approval And Permit Applications Before Any Work Can Begin. A 2021 Criminal Court Injunction Complicates Progress. Despite Local And National Interest, Bullen Says The Focus Should Be On Repairing Destroyed Homes, As Temporary Housing Is Available. Miller Hopes Renovations Could Allow Occupancy In Two Months, But Significant Work Remains.
