GAINESVILLE - As Hall County officials continued to fine tune an ordinance tightening the county's manufactured home regulations, the number of new such dwellings okayed by the county last month totaled only nine. <br>
<br>
Fifteen years ago, it was not uncommon for up to 50 manufactured homes to be okayed per month in the county. <br>
<br>
In August, only ten were okayed - nine for the new homes and one for a used mobile home which is being moved into the county. That compares with 29 last August; 24 in May; and 48 as late as October 2000.<br>
<br>
Also in August, there were 114 permits approved for new single-family homes in Hall County; twenty were okayed in the city of Gainesville.
