Dredge Phoenix Revives Dead Lakes in White Birch Lakes
A dredging machine named Phoenix works in a peat bog north of Farwell restoring a dead lake to life as Holiday Lake under the White Birch Lakes development. Neyland Development, Inc. of Naperville leads the project, part of a 2 000 acre plan to create 1 500 home sites with trails, lakes, and a private road system. Local reaction is mixed as the $700 000 first-year effort advances toward completing the first revived lake within weeks.
