“You’re dropping the whole neighborhood’s property value,” Local resident Lee Fontaine said. “And I don’t expect he’ll get a plate of cookies from the welcome wagon.” Port St. Joe Mayor Bo Patterson said, “What is it? Is it a mobile home? Is it a modular home?”
A city ordinance prohibits a manufactured home from being sited within the city limits. City commissioners plan to create a new ordinance that bans all manufactured and modular homes inside the city.
Fonaine said he used to live in an MH and has nothing against them. “If they’re in the right place,” Fontaine said. “We worked hard to have what we have and I don’t want someone to force something down my throat to bring my property values down.”
MHProNews has learned the city commissioners will discuss possible courses of action at their next meeting. ##
