Mountain Talk Monday Every Tuesday!

In this episode WMMT's Katie Myers speaks with residents of the North Fork Mobile Home Park in Morehead, Kentucky. These residents formed a campaign called Justice 4 North Fork after a Lexington developer purchased their land for use as a strip mall, leaving the roughly eighty North Fork families facing eviction, even as rent continues to rise. Demands from the campaign included financial support for moving costs and assurance that affordable housing would become a funding priority for the city of Morehead. WMMT followed residents Mindy Davenport, Penny Gozzard, Shayna Plank, and others as they made demands on the Morehead City Council and rallied their community, drawing attention to a looming housing crisis in rural Kentucky.
