DeWitt County Leader: No Opposition To Animal Shelter Project

It's a rare thing in society today, no one has a bad word to say about something, but that is exactly what the leader of one DeWitt County project has said he's heard.

Chris Rogers heads the DeWitt County Board's Public Safety Committee and he indicates he has heard no opposition to the County's efforts to give Animal Control a new facility. He goes as far to say he's heard no opposition to the happenings of the County Board as a whole.

The cost of the completed animal shelter will not even reach $400-thousand. Rogers explains the renovation of the former Black's Heating and Air Condition building is not all falling on the taxpayers either.

County Board Chair David Newberg gives a lot of credit to Rogers for seamlessly carrying on the work started by former-Board Member Dan Ballenger. Newberg says between the two, they have made this project much less expensive than it could have been.

For Rogers, he hopes to begin the move in process before the end of March. He explains they will have a host of volunteers to help move from the current facility to their new location off Route 10.

Rogers and Newberg indicate DeWitt County will have a state of the art facility once everything is completed.
