MITCHELL, S.D. (MITCHELLNOW) The Mitchell City Council has put the brakes on a proposed $23 million Corn Palace renovation. Council members tabled the project during Monday night’s meeting, leaving its future uncertain. Mayor Jordan Hanson says the delay complicates the city’s budget process, which faces a July 31 deadline. Some council members say they’re waiting on potential donors or sponsorships before committing city funds, while others question whether taxpayers would support the full cost. Businessman Roger Musick urged scaling the project back to $5 million for essential repairs, arguing tourism doesn’t drive the local economy. No timeline has been set for the council to revisit the issue. For more Government stories from MitchellNow.com, Click Here.
