Renovations to start soon

ODESSA — Plans for the community center renovations are in full swing, as was discussed at a town council meeting Monday, Feb. 13.

As construction starts, a dry box trailer will serve as a temporary office for the clerks as renovations occur.

The trailer will be placed on First Street, similar to when Deutschesfest takes place but should remain accessible.

Hannah (Schmidt) Jahns asked the council about using the sewage dump at the RV park for the Stumpjumper event.

The council agreed to assess the situation to see if the volume could be handled without stress on the infrastructure.

EDC Director Janice Meats and Lincoln County Commissioner Scott Hutsell came to talk to council about the fiber optics that will soon be available in Odessa.

The council approved a road closure for the local car show on July 2.

Approval was made for road closures on North Division Street for the annual Spring Fling.

New town police officer Gordon Bentler is settling into the area and is still going through necessary certifications before beginning patrol work.
