Moody, Alabama plans trailer park cleanup for future development ordinance
The city of Moody plans to clean up the remnants of a longtime trailer park that the city owns to prepare it for development of a proposed shopping center.
The City Council has voted to spend up to $6,000 on the work.
Moody Mayor Joe Lee said the city should have debris such as mattresses and couches cleared from the estimated 26-acre site near Interstate 20 by this spring. He also called for the Moody Fire Department to use trailers on the property for fire and rescue practices.
Dave Treadwell, Moody's project coordinator, said the city has received three bids to clean up the site. No company will be awarded the contract until such issues as insurance verification have been worked out, he said.
"We want to get (the land) ready so that when summer comes and the grass starts to grow, we can mow it to keep it looking neat," Treadwell said. He hopes to have the work started in the next week.
The city bought the land, known as The Village at Moody trailer park and the Woodland Village Trailer Park, about three years ago for $2.6 million in hopes of bringing in commercial development on the visible location.
