Oak Ridge to buy land for animal shelter
The city of Oak Ridge is looking to purchase land off Fairbanks Road near its intersection with Oak Ridge Turnpike for its new animal shelter building.
This will be a new shelter for Oak Ridge, not related to Anderson County’s new animal shelter plans.
The City Council authorized spending up to $200,000 on about 2.52 acres for the project.
Police Department Capt. Matthew Tedford said the property owner was willing to accept $200,000 for the property.
The resolution passed unanimously.
