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

A feasibility study and funding are being sought for a large-scale dredging project to restore the historic depth and sandy bottom of Lake Okahumpka. This project is planned and under review by the Board of County Commissioners. The work would involve muck removal and depth restoration, potentially including site clearing and grading of lakebed materials, and specialized dredging operations. Long-term invasive species management is also planned, focusing on native aquatic vegetation. This early stage presents an opportunity for contractors, suppliers, and service providers to engage before detailed plans and permits are finalized. Reaching out now could provide an advantage in securing future work related to this significant lake restoration effort.
