After Harmony Communities purchased Del Cielo Mobile Estates in Orcutt, the company informed residents about its plans to change the mobile home park from 55-and-older to all-ages. Residents are asking the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors to weigh in and essentially stop the plan in its tracks. They contend that they would be priced out of their affordable housing should the plan move forward and that the move could have broader impacts for senior mobile home parks across the county. Staff Writer Taylor O’Connor digs into the issue [8].
This week, you can also read an update on the Santa Ynez YMCA’s plans to open 24/7 [4]; the Americana band galloping into the Maverick [26]; and what Talley Farms and Talley Vineyards have to offer [29].
