• Ashe weighs animal shelter, EMS costs amid funding uncertainty (reflector.com) — A proposed $12 million animal shelter in West Jefferson is moving into preliminary design, but construction funding remains uncertain as Ashe County also plans a new EMS base. The shelter would replace the aging Crumpler facility, where officials say reaching the 40-dog capacity sometimes forces a pause in public surrenders.
