Dickerson Pike mobile home park move-out coming to a close

A monthslong transition at the Gatewood Community Trailer Park on Dickerson Pike in East Nashville is coming to a close.

Tenants at the mobile home park have been seeking new places to live and, after an end-of-May deadline, just one family remains. According to Cecilia Prado, co-director of advocacy group Workers Dignity, that family is set to move out on Sunday.

Local real estate developer Wedgewood Avenue bought the East Nashville site for $6.8 million last year and plans for the property a market-rate 500-unit residential complex with retail space.
