About The Project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In June 2022, Buffalo View Motel embarked on a mission to transform a former motel, which had been vacant for 2-3 years, into a beacon of hope. The property was initially closed due to structural issues, but thanks to a detailed report from our structural engineer, many of these repairs have already been addressed. However, the sidewalks still need replacement due to underlying rusted metal.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our Journey<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rezoning Efforts:<\/strong> Buffalo View Motel sought to rezone the property to apartments to better serve the community, but the town of Unicoi denied our request. After a legal battle, we secured the right to reopen it as a motel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clean and Safe:<\/strong> The property had a troubled past with drug use, but it has been professionally cleaned and certified meth-free, ensuring a safe environment for future residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Electrical Inspection:<\/strong> Although the electricity has been disconnected, an inspector has confirmed that the property passed inspection and only requires necessary repairs to be fully operational.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What We Need<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To realize our vision of providing temporary housing for victims of Hurricane Helene, Buffalo View Motel needs your support with the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Kitchenettes:<\/strong> Each room originally had a kitchenette. We need 69 small refrigerators, microwaves, sinks, and countertops to restore these facilities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Bathroom Fixtures:<\/strong> Many bathroom vanities are missing, and several toilets are broken and need replacement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Heating Units:<\/strong> We require 69 220v PTAC units to ensure each room is warm and comfortable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Buffalo View Motel is calling on compassionate individuals and organizations to volunteer and assist with the remaining repairs and installations. Your support will help us provide a safe and comfortable temporary home for those affected by Hurricane Helene.
