EDA reports Dig Rite expansion into Medford industrial park; plans for engineering and streetlight upgrades

At the Jan. 13 meeting of the Medford Economic Development Authority, the Economic Development Director reported that Jay Mitzner, owner of Dig Rite Hydro-Excavation (Hutchinson, Kansas), is purchasing two lots in Medford's Industrial Park and intends to build a new building to house vehicles, tools and office space. The report states Dig Rite "plans to add office space in the building and hire 4 employees."

The director said staff met with Myer's Engineering to discuss the next steps in Industrial Park engineering and planning (funded by the Prep-D grant). The report also noted plans to meet with OG&E's engineer to plan streetlight improvements (upgrades, beautification, and maintenance). The EDA approved routine minutes, financials and claims and adjourned at 4:48 p.m.
