PMHA reports that based on the decision of their board, they will suspend HOMExpo 2012. HOMExpo 2011 had good reported trade days attendance and a more modest result on public days. Pennsylvania Manufactured Housing Association (PMHA) Executive Vice President, Mary Gaiski, said: “We appreciate all of you who supported HOMExpo 2011 in York, PA.  And though it resulted in a negative number on the association’s balance sheet, those who volunteered time and energy to the set up and teardown of the show … those who displayed … and, those who attended did so with enthusiasm and faith that the economy was improving!  However, the economy continues to struggle and the housing industry remains in survival mode.  The association understands and respects that fact.  Therefore, due to the lack of sustainable improvement in the housing market the PMHA Board of Directors voted to suspend the 2012 Pennsylvania show.  We continue to be faithful that the economy will improve bringing with it a rebound in the housing industry.  At that time, PMHA will be positioned to respond. Meanwhile PMHA will continue to meet the needs of its members by being the legislative, regulatory and educational voice of the factory built housing industry.”
