Oktibbeha county board of supervisors trying to cleanup old lake
SUMMARY: A recent study reveals that the Oktibbeha County Lake dam is in unsatisfactory condition, echoing issues identified over 40 years ago. Local supervisors discussed federal funding options from the National Resources Conservation Service, emphasizing community investment. Options suggested by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality include rehabilitating the dam, raising homes behind the levee, decommissioning the dam, or taking no action. Residents like Brandon Womble expressed concern that the dam’s condition harms property values and development. The Board of Supervisors is expected to make a final decision on the dam’s future in December.
