Village of Lake Mykee President Jim Frazer says the town began looking south

merging came up after the town moved their wastewater treatment to Holts Summit.
Because the towns’ borders aren’t attached, Rep. Travis Fitzwater and Sen.
Jeanie Riddle helped pass legislation to make the merger possible.
