Michelle Blake moved to Mid-Missouri from California seven years ago to be closer to her parents, but she found other reasons to stay: a new husband, a sense of community and affordable living.
Now, she’s struggling with the latter.
Blake is a resident of El Ray Mobile Home Park, which is scheduled to close in the coming months. Columbia attorney Ron Netemeyer owns the park on Mexico Gravel Road, east of Lake of the Woods Road, as well as two other trailer parks in the area. He is closing El Ray because the lagoon that serves the property is not up to state standards. Even after the park closes, it would cost him about $25,000 to shut down the lagoon, he told the Tribune.
