A drug and alcohol rehab facility could soon be coming to a Morro Bay neighborhood.
The supportive housing project is proposed for 2460 Main St. and would include 27 rooms that would house people struggling with addiction on a voluntary basis.
The facility would be open 24 hours a day.
Rodeway Inn currently sits at that location and the owner says his motel business has taken a hit during the pandemic. He is hoping to change it from a motel to a detox facility to help community members.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is overriding the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which made a surprise announcement Tuesday that any distillery that switched to producing hand sanitizer this year during the pandemic will owe thousands of dollars in fees and could be charged twice if they do not cease production immediately.
HHS Chief of Staff Brian Harrison announced Thursday: “Small businesses who stepped up to fight COVID-19 should be applauded by their government, not taxed for doing so. I’m pleased to announce we have directed FDA to cease enforcement of these arbitrary, surprise user fees. Happy New Year, distilleries, and cheers to you for helping keep us safe!”
