Board of Works approved street closures for more downtown events

The Board of Works approved several street closures for Mainstreet Shelbyville Inc. Tuesday morning for upcoming planned events around downtown Shelbyville.

Wine Walk is the next event in downtown Shelbyville. Nine wineries will take part in the June 23 showcase.

West Washington St. will be closed west of the downtown fountain at 8 a.m. to allow for tables and registration booths to be set up and food trucks to arrive.

First Friday events will be held Aug. 4, Sept. 1 and Oct. 6 with small concerts planned for each night.

Colton Chapman will perform on Aug. 4; 45 RPM will be the entertainment on Sept. 1; and Audiodacity is the featured performer on Oct. 6.

All three events will close off W. Washington St. starting at the Public Square, which mimics the road closure for the traditional Saturday Farmers Market.

Brewfest returns to downtown Shelbyville on Sept. 22.

Hairbanger’s Ball will be the headline performer on the main stage. This event will close traffic through the Public Square from Jackson St. to Franklin St.

There will be a Shelbyville High School class reunion that night for all SHS graduates from the 1980s. The event is synced with Homecoming festivities at McKeand Stadium at Shelbyville High School.

In other board of works business Tuesday:

  • Extended the clean up deadline to June 30 for the property at 639 E. Jackson St. Progress is currently to remove a house and garage that is in disrepair. The house is gone but the garage has not been leveled.
  • Assessed a $150 fine and ordered the remediation of the nuisance property at 626 W. South St.
  • Extended the clean up deadline for 30 days for the property at 735 Blanchard St. The resident appeared before the board to outline his health issues which caused the property to have code violations. The extension allows for referral to Shelby Senior Services to possibly find assistance with working on the property.
  • Extended the clean up deadline until the June 20 meeting for the property at 529 E. Jackson St. There are family issues to be addressed as well as potential solutions the city can offer to get the property back up to code.
