FELLSMERE — A new GoLine bus stop shelter has been installed in front of Dollar General at 12820 SR 512 in Fellsmere. Dollar General Corporation donated $10,000 for a new GoLine shelter to be placed in front of the Fellsmere store location.
In partnership with GoLine Indian River Transit, a new shelter was built as the second community partnership to build a shelter in front of a business location.
“In keeping with its corporate mission of serving others, Dollar General is pleased to support the new shelter for the Fellsmere community,” said Dollar General District Manager Jerry Reilly.
The 9,100 square foot store was built in fall of 2012, with a bus stop upon its completion, without a shelter. The newly built shelter at the stop now allows GoLine passengers to wait for the bus without the worry of inclement weather.
“With great local partnerships like this, GoLine Indian River Transit is able to provide more shelters for riders in the community,” said Karen Deigl, President and CEO of the Senior Resource Association, the non-profit organization running the transportation system in conjunction with the county.
Requests for stops can be made by businesses in Indian River County. There are a total of 30 shelters at various GoLine bus stops in Indian River County; two are through local business partnerships like Dollar General.
All shelters were built by Shoreline Shutters out of Sebastian.
