Lawrence County Redevelopment Commission, City of Mitchell to discuss extension of MOU for shell building

BEDFORD – The Lawrence County Redevelopment Commission’s memorandum of understanding agreement with the City of Mitchell related to the city signing over a piece of land in Industrial Park to the county has been delayed, commission president Jeff Quyle said during Thursday’s meeting.

According to Quyle, the land, which will be the site of an incoming shell building, has been surveyed, but the transfer will still require the completion of the necessary paperwork.

Because of the terms of the original MOU, which stated construction on the project was to begin by June 30, 2023, Quyle said the commission will need to look to work with the city to extend the deadline of the agreement, likely until August 30, 2023.
