AP Wire | 12/13/2005 | The future of Bay St. Louis neighborhoods could be prefabricated: "'There's just not going to be enough builders to do all the construction that needs to be done.'
The homes would be built in a factory in another part of the country and shipped to the area. It takes about four months to assemble the homes onsite.
A 1,000-square-foot house on the rubble-filled Ballentine Street is the first to appear in Bay St. Louis. It was built by Allen Associates in Santa Barbara, Calif., and delivered on trucks.
The company is designing them to match the traditional feeling of Bay St. Louis homes.
Prefab homes tend to cost about 40 percent less, per square foot, than regular homes and they often are a better quality structure, Dennis said."
