A Plan To Convert The Town Of Unicoi’s Former Budget Inn Into Housing For Flood Victims Is Hitting Roadblocks. Owner Shawn Miller Wants To Donate Use Of The Property, But The Building Can Only Operate As A Hotel Or Motel Under Current Rules. No Permit Applications Have Been Filed. While Miller Hopes To House Residents In A Few Months, Town Mayor Kathy Bullen Notes Flood Victims Currently Have Temporary Housing And Suggested Efforts Might Be Better Spent On Rebuilding Damaged Homes.
