Shelby County Government agencies, including the Mayor’s Office and Sheriff’s Office, have new telephone numbers.

All county agency offices at the Criminal Justice Center and the Vasco Smith, Jr. Administration Building, 160 North Main, now have new telephone numbers beginning with “222.”

The “222” numbers replaced several telephone exchanges that begin with 545, 377, 379, 544 and others.  Most new numbers with prefix “222” also have four new digits assigned to them.

For several months, people who call the old county government numbers will get a recording for the new numbers.

The new “222” telephone numbers are also being used at the Shelby County Health Department offices on Jefferson.  The Shelby County Corrections Center and other administrative offices on Mullins Station Road will have new telephone numbers in the next few months.

The Lakeland Board of Commissioners recently approved an architectural contract for plans to renovate the Internationa Harvester Managerial Clubhouse at 4523 Canada Road. Plans are for the bathrooms, kitchen area, plumbing and interior to be upgraded as well as other improvements such as converting the heating and cooling to natural gas and replacing the septic system.

The IH Clubhouse will be closed from at least January 1 through Spring of 2012 for completion of the renovations.

The project is funded 50% by a grant from the Tennessee Local Parks and Recreation Fund.

This Saturday, the Shelby Farms Greenline will celebrate its one year anniversary with the second annual Bands, Bikes, and Block Parties celebration. While the grand opening event a year ago was intended to raise awareness and spark interest, this year’s occasion is much more celebratory in nature. 

The festivities will begin at 9 a.m. with a new double elimination 3-on-3 basketball tournament at the Lester Community Center in Binghamton at the western end of the greenline. The tournament will run until 4 p.m.  To sign up, email Matt Farr at mfarr@shelbyfarmspark.org. There is a $20 entry fee per team.
