<b>Sheldon center opens&nbsp;</b><b>for limited operations</b>

The Sheldon Convenience Center has reopened on a limited basis from 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesdays and Saturdays.

Located at 208 Johnson Road in Sheldon, the center closed late last month due to fire damage at the site attendant’s office.&nbsp;

Staff in the county’s Public Works Department and the Facility Management Department has been actively working to return the center to full operation.&nbsp;

A new building has been ordered and the utility company is working to restore power to the site.&nbsp;

Once the restoration project is finished and the site is ready to return to its normal operating schedule, a notice to the public will be issued.

Residents may also use the following nearby centers:

• Big Estate at 63 Big Estate Road: 7:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.

• Lobeco at 6 Keans Neck Road, and Shanklin at 80 Shanklin Road: 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day except Wednesday.
