People living in New Iberia are now free to set up a modular home anywhere in the city limits.

Tuesday night City Council revised the rule that limited modular homes to mobile home parks.

The council decided modular homes are more permanent than mobile homes.

They also fit lots typically left behind after the city’s new demolition program tears down out of code buildings.

Hundreds of factory built homes are being built inside the old Martin Mills building in St. Martinville.

New Iberia City Council toured that facility. Seeing the quality of the homes helped them decide to allow the structures across the city.
