Pinedale Town Shop Open House
by Dawn Ballou, Pinedale Online!
September 19, 2009

The Town of Pinedale held an open house for their new Town Shop on Friday, September 18th. The new shop is located on south Tyler Avenue, near the sewage lagoons. The facility houses the town maintenance department and animal control. The Public Works department takes care of road repairs, sewer and water systems, signs, hydrants, drains, snow plowing in town, and other maintenance requirements. The new building was designed to be "green" and as energy efficient as possible. Plans have not been announced on what will be done with the old town shop facilities located on South Lincoln Avenue.

Animal Control plans to start a volunteer program to help care for the animals. Anyone interested in helping at the shelter, clean cages, walk dogs, bathe animals, do laundry, attend the office and answer phones, etc, is encouraged to apply. Must like animals, be responsible, kind, and caring. Middle school age or older. They will train.
