Update: Not all bad for Hope! Trailers of Hope Stuck in Hope, Arkansas
Update 11/24:Hope finds out FEMA trailers at airport not all bad: Hope collects $25,000 monthly rent. Salaries are paid to 75 workers FEMA has at Hope - monthly payroll costs are $416,755. They stay in the local motels, they eat in the local restaurants and buy things locally.
Originally Reported 11/18: Evidently 20,000 trailers of "hope" are still stuck in Hope, Arkansas. They were prepositioned in Hope for displaced victims of Hurricane Katrina. Evidently, not many victims did not want "low-bid" government trailers. A year ago, Congress gave permission to FEMA to donate the homes to municipalities or nonprofit groups. Evidently Sen Mark Pryor want the trailers out of Hope. Don't know why, after all the city airport is receiving $400,000 a year in rent for the land on which the trailers sit. I guess Hope is feeling hopeless even with the cash. Below is the scoop on the pending legislation:
by Aaron Sadler, Stephens Washington Bureau: Sen. Mark Pryor introduced legislation giving FEMA nine months to put together a plan to use, store, sell or trash the nearly 20,000 mobile homes and travel trailers.The trailers intended for displaced victims of Hurricane Katrina have sat vacant since 2005 on land owned by the Hope Municipal Airport. FEMA pays $400,000 a year rent for the land. Pryor said security and maintenance costs put the total spent on the trailers in the millions of dollars. . . .The legislation, the FEMA Accountability Act of 2007, gives the agency three months to determine how many mobile homes it needs to keep for future disaster victims.FEMA would have six months to provide a plan for storage of those housing units, sale of usable surplus units and disposal of the rest. Implementation of the plan would be required nine months after passage of the legislation . . . [Read More]
