Gastonia's Budget Inn came to an end last month after City Officials deemed it unsafe.  This followed a long process that saw the motel be a location for crime and other issues.  However, it was a roof over the head of numerous extended-stay residents. Officials say they gave ownership and residents plenty of time to make other arrangements before the establishment came to an end.  The full story is shared by the Gaston Gazette's Kevin Ellis during this More to the Story from June 13, 2018.
