@Jim AdrianI can get estimates from the modular home manufacturer.I'm looking for some idea what to expect "resurrecting" a subdivision that was never completed: complications with the city, dealing with the utilities - electric, gas, telecom, etc., merging new homes with the existing HOA (if any), ...
