TheDailyReview of Towanda, Pennsylvania reports the Waverly Village Trustees in Tioga County, just across the border in New York, updated their definition of manufactured and modular homes. The previous legal definition written in 1988 for “mobile home” was a portable structure on wheels, but intended for long-term living. The new definition states manufactured homes are built to federal standards, and can be moved. The new measure also limits the siting of MH to certain areas in the village. The new definition for modular home includes being built to state standards and attached to a foundation.
