Board of DD project helps open doors at 3 area businesses 

26

Every day, people with developmental disabilities face barriers to accessing facilities and services, preventing them from fully taking part. The Logan County Board of Developmental Disabilities expressed interest in helping local businesses install accessible doors with the use of one-time ARPA grant funds.

Three area businesses, Homegrown Yoga, 138 W. Columbus Ave., Bellefontaine; Gathering Grounds, 337 E. Main St., Russells Point; and Buckeye at the Lake, 11977 State Route 235, Lakeview; were interested in the project and now have a welcome addition to their facilities.

The LCBDD allocated ARPA grant funds distributed by the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities to complete this project. These funds have allowed LCBDD to assist our community with offering a more inclusive and accessible Ohio, one that recognizes and value the contributions of all citizens.
