It is now, officially, the William “Bill” Wadsworth Animal Shelter in the City of Romulus.
Recently, under some threatening skies, the new sign at the shelter at 12300 Wayne Road was scheduled to be officially unveiled. Wadsworth, named as the Greater Romulus Chamber of Commerce Person of the Year in April, was instrumental in the construction of the animal shelter.
More than $351,000 has been raised through various individual donations and fundraising events such as the Bingo event during the Pumpkin Festival and the Annual Bowl-a-thon at Romulus Lanes. Wadsworth was tireless in organizing fundraising efforts to build and continue to operate the facility. He secured monetary and in-kind donations to make the shelter possible, officials said.
Romulus Mayor Robert McCraight was scheduled to officially unveil the sign honoring Wadsworth's tireless efforts.
