WRAL••business
Key Points:
- Over 100 families, including Steve and Ann Curlee, are being forced to leave Chatham Estates mobile home park in Cary after the property was announced for sale, with residents given six months to vacate.
- The property owner, Curtis Westbrook, plans to sell the land to a developer who proposes building 330 multifamily units and 97 townhouses, which many current residents say will be unaffordable for them.
- The Curlees, longtime residents since 1988, face uncertainty about relocating and hope to move into a nearby senior living community to stay close to medical care; otherwise, they may have to move farther away to Johnston County.
- The Town of Cary and local non-profit NeighborUp are assisting residents with housing options
