shelby-county-complex-commemorates-new-look-with-ribbon-cutting
Kem Anderson has been with the Shelby County Highway Department for over 35 years. Even after a project that’s been ongoing for better than a year, you might forgive him if he still seems a bit surprised, and certainly, pleased, with the near completion of the new county highway garage, recycling facilities and refueling station at the Shelby County Complex.
A ribbon cutting commemorating the project was held Tuesday morning.
The host site for the county’s recycling and its offices, as well, will soon feature a new transfer station and a retention pond near the front of the property where the old one stood.
Shelby County Commissioner Don Parker on the inside facilities for parking and enhancements on the property.
Kem Anderson says being at the facility now compared to what has been gives him even more appreciation.
Shelbyville Mayor Tom DeBaun remembers when land across the street was going to be a new site. He’s also pleased with the shared fueling station on-site.
Runnebohm Construction was the primary contractor but Mike Runnebohm also noted 32 companies from Shelby County that worked on the project.
Runnebohm is soon to re-skin the old highway garage building to make it look like the rest of the complex. The building will soon be the new home for Shelby County Emergency management.
