Animal Control Shelter Site and Neighbors

The site for the New Animal Control Shelter has apparently been decided. It will be between the "Bus Barn" and "Recycling for Scottsboro" business. Apparently, the other site west of the Bus Barn parking area and Marshall Dr. was to low and would require alot of fill to establish an appropriate foundation elevation (link: http://arklite.blogspot.com/2007/12/around-scottsboro.html ). Clearing has began (see pictures), Mr. Curtis Davis, City Planner, has stated that the building will not conflict with the truck entry and exit from the recycling business owned by Mr. Morris Necklaus. Mr Necklaus and the City of Scottsboro came to an agreement a couple of years back concerning the usage of the old baler facility. The business must remove as a minimum 30,000 pounds of recyclable materials per month per contract requirements from the "garbage stream." Mr. Necklaus has stated to me that he exceeds that amount and averages approximately 50,000 pounds per month of recyclable waste. As Morris pointed out in the comment below, the 30,000 pounds should be 30 tons or 60,000 pounds. The average in weight retrieved is 50 tons, 100,000 pounds. Thanks for that correction.

Mr. Morris Necklaus is pictured working diligently at weighing aluminum cans. Mr. Necklaus is buying aluminum, yesterdays price was 58 cents per pound.

I have added the Animal Control Shelter Site Plan to this post. Note the old baler facility on the left of the plan.
