Councilman to hold public meeting
Beaufort County Councilman York Glover, District 3, will hold a public meeting at 6 p.m. Thursday, June 1, at the Grand Army of the Republic Hall, 706 Newcastle St. in Beaufort.
Gary Kubic and Josh Gruber, of the Beaufort County administration, will be the guest speakers. Kubic’s presentation will focus on opportunities for economic development of light industries in Beaufort County.
“My purpose for holding these meetings is to share information about county-related issues and to listen to residents’ concerns,” Glover said.
Residents do not need to register in advance for the meeting.
Sheldon center opens for limited operations
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.
Staff in the county’s Public Works Department and the Facility Management Department has been actively working to return the center to full operation.
A new building has been ordered and the utility company is working to restore power to the site.
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.

Mosquito spraying continues through May 26
