County executive reports shelter progress and timelines for health services facility and community center
Summary
County Executive reported Feb. 17 that shelter work continues through winter with a projected October opening, Bay County Health Services offices are finishing interior work with a hoped-for late-spring opening, and a new community center with a pool is slated to open in June 2027.
County Executive (identified in the transcript as Mr. Bakuen) updated the Bay County Board on progress at three county projects during the Feb. 17 meeting.
On the shelter, he said workers are continuing despite bitter cold conditions and that the county expects an October opening and ribbon-cutting if progress continues. “They're working hard through the bitter cold temperatures... we expect that that hopefully we'll have an October opening and ribbon cutting,” he said.
He also reported that interior work at the Bay County Health Services offices is proceeding quickly and that the county is aiming for a late-spring opening. Separately, he noted that public reaction to the planned community center — including a pool — has been largely positive on social media and said the county expects the pool to open in June 2027.
The remarks were informational; no formal actions were taken at the meeting on these capital projects. County staff and commissioners will continue project oversight through regular administration channels.
