Several property owners in the Grand Valley Lakes mobile home section were sent letters granting them thirty days to remove unsightly debris and mow their lots. Homes, such as the one pictured here, must be brought up to standard. In absence of property owner action, the clean-up will be done by the Property Owner’s Association. Costs will be charged back to the property’s owner.

Grand Valley Lakes joins the blight fight

Middleton, Grand Junction, Saulsbury, and now Grand Valley Lakes. The fight against community blight is underway. Following in the footsteps of their incorporated municipality neighbors, Grand Valley has now mailed out eight “blight removal” letters to property owners, particularly in the mobile home section. The letter informs them their lots must be cleaned up within 30 days or further action will be taken. Grand Valley has already received a bid for cleaning each individual lot. If the property owner does not take action, the Valley will proceed under the bids received and the affected property owner will be charged for the service.
“The condition of these properties is a disgrace. The majority of residents work hard to keep their homes and yards presentable and it’s not right for these few to pull down the entire neighborhood,” said Myra Cox, President of the Board of Directors.
A local attorney specializing in real estate matters will be used to locate several absentee property owners.
