(wbiw.com) — Mitchell officials are detailing a plan to house about 90 seasonal migrant farm workers in a former church at Frank and Fourth streets, ahead of a public hearing on Thursday, Dec. 18. City leaders say no zoning change is needed, state housing rules will apply, and similar projects in other Indiana towns brought business to local shops while causing few problems.
