Mercer County’s new animal control facility is now open. There are a few finishing touches that need to be made to the interior of the structure, but the old building has been demolished, according to Mercer County Highway Department’s Matt Lower. Ground was broken on the new facility in July of 2018 and that’s where WRMJ spoke with Jerry Bryan with FurEver Friends for Mercer County Animals. They helped raise money for the project.
RKE Construction of Buffalo Prairie was the contractor for the 2,100 square foot building, which is located behind the Mercer County Highway Department, just west of Aledo.
