Mr. Knoebel said that at the very least Mr. Hicks wants to keep the park open. However, if it must be closed, he wants residents to have more time to relocate. Residents are fighting to remain at the park. We're not giving up. There are a lot of people praying that this will be worked out so we can stay.
Residents say they believe the water is safe to drink.
But some other residents have already moved and others have inquired about finding other housing, said Cheryl Butler, a state social worker who has been trying to help the residents. She has provided a list of subsidized apartments to residents but few have acted. They are not all that motivated to move. They still believe Mr. Hicks will prevail. Mrs. Klette said.
