2. Muck Removal and Depth Restoration: We demand a feasibility study and funding for a large-scale

Board of County Commissioners Regular Meeting · 2026-05-26 · agenda_item

A feasibility study and funding are being considered for a large-scale dredging project at Lake Okahumpka. The goal is to restore the lake's historic depth and sandy bottom. This project is planned and currently under review by the Board of County Commissioners. If approved, the work would likely involve extensive muck removal and depth restoration, similar to a past project at Lake Panasoffkee. This could include site preparation, dewatering, dredging operations, and potentially shoreline stabilization. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas such as marine construction, heavy equipment operation, and environmental services could find opportunities. Engaging early in the planning process before final site plans, bids, and permits are established may offer a competitive advantage.
