Vermilion County Board Chairman Steve Miller Obtains Approval of New Animal Control Facility

Chairman Steve Miller of the Vermilion County Board obtained approval for a new Animal Control Facility to be built adjacent to the current building. Miller, along with Ryan Goodner the Director of the Facility, visited many newer facilities searching for the right model for Vermilion County going into the future. In tazewell County they found the right model. The cost is estimated to be in the 4 million dollar range and the Julius Hegeler Foundation will donate 2.5 million dollars of that cost. The new facility was a long term goal of Chairman Miller and he hopes to see ground cleared soon that will be the new location for the facility.
