Fair Valley Community is a mobile home park in Central PA. Recently, the land has been sold to Multi Ventures Inc. out of Baltimore who renamed the land Fair Valley L.P.. They contracted a company to "manage the land" or, more accurately,push the residents out.

Many of the residents of Fair Valley community were not given a fair deal for their homes. Most felt pressured into making agreements to sell their home for way under its value. Some were offered $500 for their homes when to estimated value would have been 8,000 - 15,000.

They have been paying taxes on what the property is worth.

They are told that if they do not leave with in this given time frame, their home will be destroyed. many of the Trailers are too old to be moved. If the trailer is new enough to move then the average cost to move a Mobile home is 7,000.

Fair Valley is home to many elderly folks who don't have the resources to move.

Charlie Graham, an 80 year old veteran,has lived at Fair Valley for 35 years. His mobile home is too old to move. They offered him $500 for the trailer. He has no where to go.

Eugene Livingston's trailer is in great condition, but its from 1969 and they said that is too old to move. He has no idea what him and his wife are going to do. He has been depressed since he found out that his home will be destroyed. even if they could move it, the estimated cost of moving a trailer cost $7,000.

David and Barbara Malone were told by the previous land owners a year ago to pay 2,000 to move their trailer 300 yards from an adjacent property to this trailer park. The same land owners turn around and sell the property they were just moved to. Now they are being told that it will cost 7,000 to move their trailer. They are both working, but still will not be able to come up with that kind of money in a couple months.
