SUMMARY: The city of Amry is planning to build a new community storm shelter that will be one of the largest in the city. The shelter will be 12 ft wide, 64 ft in length, and able to hold up to 130 people. The city has applied for a $750,000 grant to help fund the project. This shelter is seen as a crucial investment that could save lives, especially in light of past devastating storms in the area. The city hopes to have the shelter completed before the next storm season begins. Residents are supportive of the idea, as it will provide a much-needed sense of security and protection during severe weather events.
