Following a story MHProNews posted June 18 regarding new modular homes destined for Union Beach to replace up to 16 destroyed by Hurricane Sandy, your4state.com reports six of the homes are being constructed by Foremost Industries, Inc. of Greencastle, Pennsylvania. The first two homes delivered, funded by the New Jersey Hurricane Relief Fund and the Robin Hood Relief Fund, were welcomed by New Jersey’s First Lady, Mary Pat Christie. The homes are water, wind and mildew resistant, positive attributes for homes near the Atlantic. Karl Schreiber of Foremost says, “To be able to step out and do something that’s part of a greater cause I think gives us all a very, very good feeling.” ##
