A potential grant award could result in improvements to the Livingston County Animal Shelter.
Shelter Director Christy Peterson addressed the Livingston County Board of Commissioners at their Finance Committee meeting Wednesday concerning the opportunity to apply for a $30,000 grant from Two Seven Oh, Incorporated.
The New Hudson-based organization awards grant funding to municipal animal shelters in need of improvements. If awarded, the funds would be used to renovate the shelterâs dog room, including new windows, outdoor kennels, bathing station, sound system, and an isolation room, which Peterson says is definitely needed.
Peterson says in addition to helping reduce the spread of disease, it will also better enable them to separate aggressive and court case dogs from stray and adoptable dogs.

Residents against a proposed chapel and sanctuary space in Genoa Township showed up en masse Monday night, causing the adjournment of the meeting due to pandemic restrictions.
With a space allowing for 18 members of the public in the Genoa Township Hall, and roughly 3 times that number showing up for the meeting, the Board of Trustees was forced to call off their meeting before they could conduct business. Under current health department orders, capacity is limited to 50% of normal room capacity, but social distance space must still be accounted for. Supervisor Bill Rogers said he was shocked when he pulled out the measuring tape and started distancing chairs to find that so few could fit in their space.
