Shelbyville Mayor Jeff Johnson was a guest on the Newstalk WTIM Morning Show live from our downtown studios on Friday. Host Jim Finks asked Johnson about the new Lake Trails subdivision coming to Shelbyville. Johnson said how work is hopefully going to begin soon on the subdivision, and how that will help bring businesses to Shelbyville.

Johnson did say that although the developer is hoping to get work started soon, there are still some things in the way of that happening. Johnson pointed out however that the community is working together to try to get the project off the ground.

Johnson also talked about upcoming expansion of the Dacey Trail, mentioning how the town received a grant to continue the trail around the courthouse, as well as down North Morgan. The town is hoping to have something ready for bid soon, so that construction on the project can begin next spring.
