phase 1 of the Parks Master plan. Work has been slow due to the rainy weather. We still expect all of phase 1 to be completed by the end of August 2021. Bob Hales Center — Framing construction, HVAC ductwork and rough-in for electrical and plumbing are complete. The contractor has now moved onto the sheet rock installation. Estimated completion is still July 1, 2021. T-Ball fields at OT Sloan — Work continues on the new T- Ball fields at OT Sloan. The four new fields are under construction next to the Boys and Girls Club. Rainy weather delayed this project significantly. Two of the four fields are essentially complete and we can begin using them. Anticipate two more weeks on the remaining two fields before they are complete. Fencing installation has begun and will be complete in two weeks. Other Items COVID-19 Update — Lee County is now accepting vaccine registration requests for all Groups. The Health Department is still focusing on the Tuesday and Wednesday events at the Civic Center. These two days are the best days for both the College and the Department. In these two days, the County has the capacity to give 3000 shots. The Department has also set up an event on Saturday May 1, at the Christian Provision Ministries off Courtland Drive. The Department is currently accepting reservations for this event. In addition, COLTS has received a grant from DOT to provide transportation to not only this event, but also all the events at the Civic Center. Citizens can call COLTS at 919-776-7201 to schedule a ride.
