Mitchell Municipal Council for consideration of a resolution expressing interest in the state prison coming in Davison County

June 1 – Mitchell – in addition to the second reading of an ordinance and a proposal for adopting fixed limits for the members of the Council and the Mayor and the second reading of the Ordinance and the consideration of a proposal for the adoption of rental inspections, the Michael Municipal Council, during its regular session on June 2, will also look at a resolution of interest.

Local entrepreneur and landlord Justin Thies believe that stable jobs supported by the state will bring the type of income that supports home ownership and nourish local business patronage in Mitchell.

“I believe that Mitchell needs prison. Adding 400 well-paid, civil servants who were civil servants-their families-is exactly the growth we need to be welcoming,” Taes said.

Thiesse says that millions invested in new homes in Mitchell are not supported by quality jobs that justify these developments. State correctional employees are considered with state -of -a -way background inspections and have weapons licenses, which is only the type of person that locals want to live on the street, according to Thiesse.

Concerns among residents about prisoners near Mitchell may mean that locals lose the benefits that prison labor can bring to the local economy, according to Thiesse.

“Everyone says they want more restaurants, shopping and activities for our children – well, it starts – saying yes to work,” Tiez said.

According to a

Mitchell Area Corporation State Prison Prison,

A potential $ 160 acres of $ 2.88 million is located near Mitchell’s regional depot and is owned by James River Farms. The location is beyond the limits of Mitchell City in Davison County.

In April, the city of Mitchell approved a 10-year purchase agreement of $ 3.48 million

For a different platform of 160 acres, owned by James River farms to increase the capacity of the landfill.

A new state penitentiary has been a matter of discussion throughout the country for quite some time, with the opposition to the previous site of Lincoln drawing negative reviews from the locals and led to a lack of support in the state legislative body that led to the special prison group looking for a new site.

The Council will also look at an order for a change for the southern wastewater treatment facility of $ 39.2 million, with $ 31.32 million being scheduled for the construction of John T. Jones. The change order is an increase of $ 366,000 for projects for pipelines, connections, excavations and specific projects, among other items.

The Council will also look at an order to change the Jetty project to Lake Mitchell, an increase of $ 31,094 to lead to a total new contract of $ 2.72 million.

And the Council will consider paying forecasts for various construction projects of $ 2 million.

The City Council will also sit as a Council for Correction for Authorization for Dispersion for Lifequest mini -domestic village in the 1000 block of East Avenue. The dispersion requires the front yard, placed back 10 feet instead of 25 feet, a back yard, placed back by 20 feet instead of 25 feet and a three -foot side yard instead of five feet.

The Council will also look at two types of alcohol licenses for Adam’s 223 N. Main St. One License is for retail malt drinks and the other for a wine license and retail cider, the last of which allows the consumption and sales of wine outside the sidewalk establishments, while the income for the sale of food represents at least half of the total sales.
