Valley Green Mobile Home Park Voluntarily Evacuated Due To Flooding
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – A mobile home park in Jordan is being voluntarily evacuated Thursday night due to flooding, according to the park manager. The community has around 290 homes.
The manager says the homes near Sand Creek, which is behind Valley Green Manufactured Home Community, are currently surrounded by about a foot of water. People are able to walk to their homes but cannot drive to or from the park.
I'm told this is a voluntary evacuation at this point. People are able to walk to their homes, but they can't drive in/out.
