MHProNews.com has learned that manufactured housing will be part of the Whitehouse Cove marina development project in Poquoson, Virginia, just north of Newport News on the Chesapeake Bay. Robert Brown and Associates had initially proposed building condominiums with the full service marina and the restaurant, but complications about setbacks and building heights stymied the project, and developers opted for a 50 home site manufactured housing community. DailyPress says the Surf Rider restaurant will be open by May, and boat slips will be available for renting by the end of this month. Six of the manufactured homes have been set and are occupied, and two more will arrive in February.
