In March 2021, Wilson County was awarded the Abandon Manufactured Home Planning Grant (AMH) by the NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR). This small planning grant is to inventory old dilapidated manufactured homes in the County. Once the County has an inventory, a second grant can be applied for to have these homes demolished and removed from the property.
Wilson County AMH team has done a preliminary visual survey of the County and has found a number of homes that might qualify for this grant. The County is now reaching out to the property owners to find interested individuals who would like to have these homes removed from their property. The grant will pay a large portion of the demolition cost; however, the property owner will be required to pay the cost over the grant amount.
