The Lake Mitchell dredging project is inching closer to becoming a reality following the Mitchell City Council’s approval on Monday to have a preliminary dredging design completed.
The council tabbed Minnesota-based Barr Engineering to complete the preliminary design at a cost of $339,000. According to Mitchell Mayor Bob Everson, the preliminary dredge design which he emphasized is not a study will provide key information, including determining the actual cost of the project, which has yet to be determined.
