Seniors, residents being force out of mobile home park plead with township, developers

Описание: Residents of Plateau Village Mobile Home Park grew emotional during a Warwick Township meeting as they pleaded with leaders and developers over a plan that will force them from their homes.

“When we bought this place, we expected to stay here until we passed,” said resident Dave Masters, who has lived there with his wife for several years. “People have invested their life savings here, and now they’ve ripped that out from under us.”

More than 70 families in the 55-and-over community are being required to relocate after United Zion notified residents that the land will be redeveloped into cottages as part of its retirement community. The company said it will cover relocation costs based on state rates, about $5,500 for single-section homes and just over $8,300 for multi-section units.

Tuesday night’s hearing, however, was not about that decision.
