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 sought for a large-scale dredging project at Lake Okahumpka. The goal is to restore the lake's historic depth and sandy bottom, similar to a past project at Lake Panasoffkee. This initiative is currently planned and under review. The project would involve significant site clearing and grading, potentially including muck removal and depth restoration. It may also require extensive stormwater and underground utility work, as well as final landscaping. Contractors specializing in dredging, site preparation, grading, and potentially civil engineering services could find opportunities. Suppliers of heavy equipment and materials for water-based projects may also be involved. Engaging early in the planning stages, before detailed site plans, bids, and permits are finalized, offers the best chance to compete for future work.
