Cedar City’s new animal adoption shelter has started taking shape, as construction crews have been digging and preparing the ground for the building’s foundation. On Sept. 19, nearly six months after the initial ceremonial groundbreaking took place, the Cedar City Council formally approved the project, awarding the $1.459 million bid to Grass Creek Construction of Washington County.
The project’s scheduled timetable is just over nine months, meaning the new facility should be completed by June 2019. At 5,500 square feet, the new building will have more than three times the floor space of the city’s existing shelter, located a short distance down the street on Kitty Hawk Drive. St. George News
