Wilmington selectmen close mobile home park
The 40 unit Wilmington mobile home park near Higley Hill Road was closed by selectmen after the owner Robert Newhall failed to submit corrective plans by the June 18 deadline. Officials cited unsanitary conditions including raw sewage in dirt roads and trailers set too close together. The park, serving a weekend ski area, remains shut until the entire situation is remedied and violations addressed.
