I have always enjoyed walking uptown in Somerset, PA. It's a peaceful activity that allows me to appreciate the charm and unique character of our town. However, this enjoyment has been dampened by the presence of the Budget Inn located across from the Dairy Queen. It has become a hub for major drug trafficking within our community, making the area feel unsafe and unwelcoming to residents like myself.

The existence of this motel has unfortunately attracted illicit activities that tarnish the reputation and safety of Somerset. Reports from community members consistently highlight instances of drug-related crimes and disturbances emanating from this location. These activities not only compromise the safety of residents but also undermine efforts to maintain a clean and vibrant community atmosphere.

While budget accommodations can serve an important role in a community, when such places become centers for illegal activities, it's crucial to take action. Eliminating the Budget Inn from our neighborhood is a necessary step to curb these offenses and restore a sense of security and cleanliness to Somerset. It represents a step forward in our collective mission to foster a thriving, safe environment for all residents and visitors.

By signing this petition, you stand with us in advocating for the closure of the Budget Inn. We urge the local authorities to take immediate action, ensuring that Somerset, PA becomes a place where every resident can feel secure and proud of their town. Your support is vital in making this change happen. Please sign the petition and help us make our community safer.
