Green Acres representatives thank commission, seek state funding to expand services
Summary
Representatives from Green Acres thanked the Cabell County Commission for support, invited commissioners to tour their facility, and said they are pursuing state funding to serve more people with disabilities.
Representatives of Green Acres addressed the Cabell County Commission on April 22 to thank county leaders for support and to request further assistance.
Devin Slone and Matthew Muller, speaking for Green Acres, thanked the commissioners for county support and invited President Jim Morgan and Commissioner Nancy Cartmill to visit and tour their facility. Slone said Green Acres hopes to expand services to help more people with disabilities and is working to secure state funding to support that effort. Muller described Green Acres as "a jewel" and emphasized that the facility provides employment opportunities for people with disabilities, noting there is no other local bottled-water plant that employs the disabled in the same way.
Commissioners received the comments during the registered public-comment portion of the agenda. The record shows commissioners expressed appreciation for the remarks and that Commissioner Sobonya had recently toured the facility.
The commission's meeting minutes record the invitation and the request for state funding; no formal action on funding was taken at the meeting.
