New subdivision on former mobile home park east of town

February of last year, when Curt Erickson took ownership of Country Aire Mobile Home Park east of Ogden just off of Hwy. 30, the 62-capacity park had just 20 occupied homes. His intentions were to keep the park and make improvements. But upon learning that the 40-year-old lagoon was inadequate and not in compliance with the DNR, he made the tough decision of closing down the park.
