Mustang's owner makes offer on Mac Mobile Home Park


In a move that surprised McPherson City Commissioners, the Ohio owner of McPherson's Mustang Park made a verbal offer to purchase a trailer park on the west side of McPherson.

Kathy Billue, who resides in Ohio, offered owner Steve Sechler $80,000 for Mac Mobile Home Park that has grown to be a “blight on McPherson,” according to Mayor Bill Goering.

Sechler requested additional time to clean up the trailer park, West Kansas and Kelly Drive, which has an estimated 25 to 30 trailers in need of removal or repair. Shortly after Sechler was granted 30 additional days to continue to remove trash from the site, Billue announced to the commission that she intended to purchase the property, pending loan approval and paperwork.

Billue, who is making plans to move to McPherson, said she has owned other properties that have been cleared within 24 hours. She said that wouldn't be possible with this trailer court.

“I will level it,” Billue said. “I am willing to put up my money and get the place cleaned up. It will cost me a considerable amount to clean up the park. I will need help financing. I will need to hire additional help.

Maybe I can turn it into something that will develop.”

Billue said she would submit a proposal for commissioners to review about what she would like to do, including a general timeline.

Realtor Kelly Stucky, Ellene McKean and Associates, said the trailer park property was listed for $120,000 after originally being listed at $160,000. He estimated it would cost $40,000 to $60,000 to clear the property of 25 to 30 trailers.

Sechler said he has been trying to sell the property since it reverted back to him after a new owner declared bankruptcy. He was given a notice April 6 that he had 10 days to clear some of the debris on the south side of Horseshoe Drive before asking for more time.



“We are trying to get things cleaned,” he said. “But we are financially unable to do much.
