As myfox8 reports, Rockingham County Code Enforcement Officer Kelly Howell states they are a danger to children and an eyesore to the community. A home owner can get up to $1,500 to remove an abandoned home, which should be enough, according to Howell.
While the county has picked out homes they want to see removed, they are taking applications from anyone who has an MH they want demolished. The homes must be privately owned and vacant to be eligible, and the owners must agree to have the home removed.
The North Carolina Department of Commerce determines how much each county receives towards the program. ##
