Animal shelter update
Zoning for the Butler County Animal Shelter is approved, site preparation is done and the facility will be complete within 360 days.
This is what Butler County commissioners told Hamilton resident Doris Leugers when she asked them why it wasn’t done nearly two years after voters approved a levy to build it.
County Administrator Tim Williams said the $3.4 million project could be done in five or six months, weather permitting, but will be done in less than a year.
Commission President Charles Furmon said that the delays came from three redesigns needed to keep the building under budget. “We were not happy with that situation, but were forced to deal with it,” he said.
“We’re all animal lovers,” he said. “It’s deplorable conditions (at the current shelter in Trenton) and we want to have that happen as quickly as possible.”
What do you think? Are you satisfied the project is finally moving forward?

Who’s going to run the new shelter? Is the sheriffs new dog warden going to run it? How much is this new dog warden making and how much has been spent on training for this sheriff/dog warden? Waste, waste, waste, the money on this new dog warden should have been spent on the new shelter.
