About | Grey Stone Mobile Home Cooperative

Our community

A resident-owned cooperative

Grey Stone Mobile Home Cooperative is a manufactured home community in Veazie, along State Street between Bangor and Orono. Residents bought the park together in 2010, and the cooperative's purpose, as stated in its bylaws, is to own and operate the park as a cooperative for the benefit of its members, in a way that preserves affordable lots for low- to moderate-income homeowners.

The area

Veazie is a small town on the Penobscot River in Penobscot County. Residents are a short drive from downtown Bangor, shopping, healthcare and Bangor International Airport, and from Orono and the University of Maine.

How Grey Stone is governed

Owned by members, run by an elected Board

Membership

Adults who own and live in a home at Grey Stone and sign a Rental Agreement are members. New buyers apply, are approved by a majority vote of the Board, and pay the $50 membership fee.

One home, one vote

Each home holds one membership interest with one vote. Members meet at an Annual Meeting each March, and a third of the membership makes a quorum.

Resident Board

Five resident homeowners in good standing serve on the Board of Directors, elected by the membership for two-year terms.

Lot rent decided together

Lot rent can only be increased by a majority vote of the Board and a majority vote of the membership, with 45 days' written notice.

Security of tenure

Members who follow the bylaws and park rules have a perpetual right to occupy their lot.

Rules set by members

The park rules are established by the members. Read them, along with the bylaws, on the Documents page.
