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.
