Initial work is underway to provide Lyon County employees with a new fitness center. Last month county commissioners approved the use of $100,000 in American Rescue Act funds for the creation of the center inside the Lyon County Court Annex. According to Human Resources Director Janice Huffman, the center is one way the county is helping staff both improve work-life balance and overcome stress brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. Bids for equipment are to be presented to commissioners during their Aug. 18 action session. Huffman says once those are approved, given the current state of supply chains, the equipment could arrive by either September or October.
