Mitchell Residents to Vote in December on $8M Indoor Pool

MITCHELL, S.D. (AP) — Residents of Mitchell will vote later this year on a proposed $8 million indoor pool.

People who wanted the public to weigh in on the proposed aquatics facility circulated petitions to bring the matter to a vote.

The Daily Republic reports that the City Council has decided to hold a special election Dec. 8, rather than wait until the November 2016 general election.

The 22,000-square foot facility would have a competition-size lap pool and a 1,200-square-foot leisure pool.
