Should they be KICKED out of our neighborhood?

Richard Grahmn, 87 yr old honored WWII veteran, is a resident of Ash Creek MHPark. Along with two daughters and other residents, he will be forced to move out of the Park by November 15. He and the other residents have been labeled a NUSIANCE to the NEIGHBORHOOD!

Richard and 47 families OWN their homes and pay city property taxes, but some of the homes (due to age) cannot be moved. When the City voted in December to shut down the Park - based on false evidence (read about this in our March Archives), the city Board of Adjustments gave ZERO consideration for financial assistance to the Park homeowners who lease the land. NOR DID THE BOA ALLOW FAIR TIME for the residents to make new living arrangements and recoup financial losses. THESE MHPark residents OWN their small homes and are working with the owner to "Save the Park" which is close to work, schools and friends.

Join other Concerned Neighbors in the area at the City Plan Commission Hearing on MAY 18 at 1:30. Show support to allow Park upgrades to be made within a set period of time. Support the owner and the resident HOMEOWNERS of the Ash Creek MHPark. They do not deserve to be kicked out of our neighborhood!
