North Reading Select Board rejected a mobile home park closure permit. The board voted 4-1 to deny 142 Main Realty LLC's application to discontinue operations at Perry's Trailer Park and redevelop the site as a 40-unit affordable housing project. The park currently houses 12 to 13 households, primarily elderly, disabled, and low-income residents with 10-to-40-plus-year tenure.
Board members cited severe relocation hardship, lack of comparable regional mobile home vacancies, and uncertain development timeline in recommending denial. Mr. Masse voted against the denial, emphasizing the applicant's legal compliance.
The board authorized the Town Administrator to issue a written decision denying the permit.
