BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – Millions of dollars are on the way to dozens of mobile home parks across Vermont to fix inadequate or failing wastewater, drinking water, and stormwater systems.
The $15.5 million in federal funding from the American Rescue Plan Act will go to 46 mobile home parks.
“These investments support safe, affordable housing for historically underserved or economically disadvantaged communities, and help residents in manufactured housing communities overcome barriers to fixing water infrastructure issues. Healthy Homes has been an important part of our housing strategy for years, and I hope the Legislature continues to support it,” Gov. Phil Scott said in a statement.
State officials will finalize agreements to fund the projects. At least one community was selected from every county that applied.
