Animal shelter and health department projects advance; contractors pouring slabs and materials selected
Summary
Commissioners reported progress on two county capital projects: the animal shelter’s slab is being poured and exterior materials for the county health department building have been chosen; brick supply issues were resolved, and site visits are ongoing.
County officials reported progress June 24 on two capital projects: the new animal shelter and a county health department facility.
The updates matter for local services and facility timelines. The chair for capital outlay said the animal shelter contractor was “doing a pretty outstanding job,” that the slab is being poured and that the project is moving quickly. He said he visits the job site two to three times a week.
On the health department facility, commissioners said exterior panel colors, brick and window colors have been selected. Officials described an earlier delivery issue with the brick supplier that has been resolved; work was continuing on footings and foundations. “Everything else has been selected,” the commissioner said, adding that the project team is close to finalizing interior signage and other finishing details.
No formal votes or contract awards were recorded during the report. The capital outlay commissioner announced a scheduled July meeting for that committee and invited the public to attend for further discussion of the projects.
The commission did not provide a timetable for occupancy or budget updates during the floor report; contractors and project managers are continuing with the construction schedule and materials procurement as described.
