Bluegrass Bowling Center is down to its final frame,

Shelbyville’s bowling alley for the past 10.5 years, the center will close officially on July 31, owner Pam Kiser said.

The property had been for sale and under foreclosure proceedings by Republic Bank since May, and it remained open longer than Kiser and her husband, Mike, had expected.

The Bluegrass Bowling Center is still very much open, and its owners really don’t know when it might close.

Owner Pam Kiser said this week that she wanted to be sure the public knew her bowling alley on Midland Trail was still rolling along.

You may recall that last month the center went up for sale as Republic Bank began foreclosure. The bank had told Kiser and her husband, Mike. they would be closing in 30 days.

Even as new employment numbers show some improvement around the state, Shelby County has seen a shift in some businesses that has caused some mostly positive news. Shepherd Communications, which is based in Lexington, has moved into a new facility in the Hi Point Industrial Park and is looking to expand. Shelby County Industrial & Development Foundation Executive Director Libby Adams said the company is looking to hire about 30 employees. “They have rented our building at Hi Point,” Adams said.
