If you are not aware of the plans that Bill Myers, his staff and leadership have for improving and expanding the Grandview YMCA facilities, you would be impressed after you found out.

I have had conversations with the Grandview YMCA about their Master Plan for their facility but got to hear additional information today presented at the Millbrook Kiwanis weekly meeting.

We have great people leading the Grandview YMCA, they have a clear vision and purpose and I encourage all to be a part of their efforts.

The Elmore County Commission recognizes the importance of keeping your personal information from getting into the wrong hands. One way to prevent this is to never throw away documents that contains sensitive personal information without shredding those documents first.

On Saturday May 6, 2017 from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. all Elmore County citizens can bring up to 6 paper boxes of personal documents and they will be securely destroyed on-site.

The mobile shredding truck will be located in the North parking lot of the Elmore Judicial Complex which is on Hwy 231 across from Tutwiler Prison.

The weather will play a big role in the construction and completion of the two bridges being replaced on Ingram Road.

Original plans were to start today but that has changed and construction will begin tomorrow May 2nd.

Frontier Spinning announced today an expansion of their facility on Hwy 9 near Eclectic. This expansion will result in the creation of 18 new jobs.

We appreciate Frontier Spinning for making this additional investment in our County.

The Elmore County Economic Development Authority and Eclectic Industrial Development Board played an important role in making today’s groundbreaking possible. We appreciate Senator Chambliss taking time to join us today.

Frontier Spinning takes bales of raw cotton and polyester and produces a finish product that is used in the manufacturing of a wide range of textile products.

Frontier’s staff were great hosts and allowed us to tour this facility today and I was very impressed with the high-tech machinery being used.

This is what it looks like when people work together to help improve Elmore County.

Now that Millbrook’s resurfacing project on Deatsville Hwy is complete, I wanted to remind all that the County bridge replacement project on Ingram Road will begin Monday May 1, 2017.

This project involves the two bridges on Ingram Road that are closest to Myrick Road, one to the North and one to the South of the Ingram / Myrick Road intersection.

Please watch for road closure and detour signs in this area.

Thanks

Bart
