Future can be focus point for Mitchell

The Mitchell Area Chamber of Commerce, Mitchell Area Development Corporation and Mitchell Main Street and Beyond sponsored a visit from Ed Nichols, who hails from Decatur, Alabama, and is a strategic planner for the Enspire Consulting firm. About 50 community members gathered at the Freighthouse Room of The Depot Bar and Grill on Monday afternoon to hear from Nichols, who worked for more than 30 years in public education before moving into consulting.

"I think you have such a great opportunity here," Nichols said, speaking about how he is impressed by the elements that make up Mitchell's downtown and impressed by the people he's met. MORE
