But that’s not how Glenn Acres resident Pat Collins sees it.
“No trailer park [sic] that I’ve ever talked to will take a trailer that’s more than 10 years old. And guess what? Mine’s 30 years old,” reported WHIO7 that Collins said.
The Daily Business News previously reported on the problem these residents face, at this link here.
The local TV station stated that “Residents at the Glenn Acres Mobile Home Park in Fairborn have been served notices to vacate the property pending the sale of the land to the city of Fairborn ‘for a use other than as a manufactured mobile home park.’”
A letter signed by McNamee & McNamee, PLL, gave the residents 180 days to vacate the property. While Anderson said that letter was in error, he also said that they had no plans to close the community until residents can make other arrangements.
These are among the issues that award winning industry veteran, Marty Lavin refers to as ‘the other image campaign,’ and it’s not a good one.
While MHI did not cause this issue, Lavin’s point in part is that until such patterns are addressed, MHI’s concept for an image campaign is premature, and wasted money.
A Growing Trend or Pattern?
A source in central Florida tells MHProNews that this could be part of a growing pattern, of cities that target manufactured home communities for replacement by other forms of housing, commercial or mixed use.
Per that source, the older the community, the more likely it is to be targeted for closure by officials.
MHProNews will continue to monitor the developments on this story. ##
