JoCo supervisors want in-person meeting with Havenpark officials to discuss concerns

Johnson County supervisors are pushing for a face-to-face meeting with Havenpark Communities to address ongoing issues in four manufactured home parks. Residents have faced significant challenges, including a lack of running water during a cold snap, while rents have surged by more than 50% over seven years. Havenpark's Senior VP, Jerry Fenstermaker, acknowledged miscommunication and reiterated the company’s commitment to the communities. Supervisor V Fixmer-Oraiz plans to draft a response and set a meeting time in the coming weeks. Community advocates, including Jessica Andino, stress the importance of this meeting for residents' welfare.

Andino has been instrumental in organizing resident meetings and believes this dialogue represents significant progress. As the situation continues to evolve, local leaders aim for effective solutions to enhance living conditions. The outcome of these discussions could influence future management practices at Havenpark's properties.
