JAMES MADISON QUOTE - 1822

"A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives."

Animal Control Shelter


It looks like this will be the site of the new Animal Control Shelter. This site is between Recycling for Scottsboro and the Scottsboro Police Department Pistol Range. The two previous sites were unsuitable. The site west of the Scottsboro City School Bus Barn was in a low area and would have required considerable fill to have been placed before construction. The other site between the Bus Barn and Recycling for Scottsboro contained a considerable amount of garbage from the 1950's and 60's mixed with fill dirt. That site was considered unsuitable due to the garbage mixed with fill dirt.

The Mayor announced at last nights City Council Meeting that construction will begin on Feb. 11, 2008. Construction will be performed by the Alabama Department of Corrections utilizing inmate labor which will result in decreased costs of construction.
