Prince George, B.C.- The City of Prince George  has hired  contractors to help  remove debris from the Lombardy Mobile Home Park on Norwood Street.

The  mobile home park is subject to a remedial  action ordered by City Council  in June, and  upheld in late  July.

The contractors have already started  removing abandoned scrap metal frames and two trailer structures from the park.

The City will pay the costs associated with  the hiring of the contractors, and then add the amount to the  owner’s property taxes to recoup the  money.

Three other  remedial actions were ordered by Council:

• Clean up at 525 George Stree was completed mid July by  the City and billed to the owner
• Clean up  of 1451 Blackburn Road  was completed by the property owner on time.
• Clean up of 231 George Street  has not  yet been started although the deadline was  August 4th.  A pre-demolition environmental assessment of that property is nearing completion and work  can’t start until  all environmental  hazards are known.  The owners had requested an extension until later this fall,  but Council  rejected that request.
