Baldwin County transitions from ‘disastrous’ animal shelter to new $4.75 million building

The Baldwin County Commission unveiled the new animal shelter intake building with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Tuesday afternoon.

The facility, with a price tag of $4.75 million, already has a few months of operation under its belt, but the county was waiting until the old building was demolished and construction was completed before the official grand opening, Baldwin County Commissioner Billie Jo Underwood said at the event. The project broke ground in 2022.
