Shelbyville continues with downtown construction, COVID-19 preparation

Construction impacting Shelbyville’s downtown streets, the spokes to the circle’s hub, is getting underway.

 

Mayor Tom DeBaun on the second phase of the downtown project.

 

The mayor says watching the changes downtown would be more enjoyable if not for COVID-19.

 

 

While there is a stage-by-stage plan from the state in place for re-opening the state Mayor DeBaun says there’s still decisions to make impacting departments in the city.

 

 

The mayor says the city doesn’t eye any stricter guidelines than those set by the state.  But a  prime example would be the Meridian Park Aquatic Center.  Under some guidelines, it would fit the definition of ready to open for the summer.  Under others, maybe not.

 

 

The city is also installing or implementing equipment and plans to maintain physical distancing once city hall and other city buildings resume normal operations with the public.

 

 

Mayor DeBaun says they have enough PPE for all departments.
