The July 6 “soft opening” of the new Shackelford County Senior Citizen Activity Center at 5 S. Jacobs St. has been postponed until further notice.

Senior Center board president Tracy Sullivan said with the rise of new COVID-19 cases around the state, the board will follow Gov. Abbott’s instructions to put a pause on reopening plans.

“The donated cabinets from the Nobles are still about four weeks out from being installed,” Sullivan said. “The hope is for everything to come together all at the same time.”

Sullivan added that not all seniors feel comfortable in public. 

“The board will reassess at the end of July for future plans to open the Senior Center,” Sullivan explained. “When a date is decided, we will make sure masks are provided and necessary disinfecting practices are in place.”

For more information, contact Sullivan at 325-338-5554 or board secretary Mary Beth Jones at 325-669-1831.
