Community Advocate Speeds Up Safety Improvements in Trailer Park

During a recent government meeting, a resident from 2204 East Norton Street expressed gratitude towards local officials for their assistance in addressing ongoing safety issues at a nearby trailer park. The resident highlighted the efforts of attorney Adam West, felony prosecutor Gordon Freese, and advocate Rick Madrid, who have been instrumental in communicating with the trailer park's management to expedite necessary repairs.

The resident reported that the trailer park owner has been slow to respond to safety concerns, which have resulted in hazardous living conditions, including debris that caused a serious injury to the resident's mother. Despite paying a monthly lot fee of $410, the resident noted that affordable housing options are limited, with decent alternatives costing around $1,500 per month.

Additionally, the resident commended local law enforcement for a recent drug bust that has contributed to a safer environment in the trailer park. The arrest of the trailer park manager in previous incidents has also fostered a sense of security among residents, particularly families with children.

The resident emphasized the importance of timely action from the trailer park owner, likening the situation to receiving inadequate service at a fast-food restaurant. They called for a more efficient resolution to the ongoing issues, expressing hope for improved conditions in the community.

The meeting concluded with the acknowledgment of the resident's concerns, as officials moved on to discuss development items in the public hearing.
