Lucas Quamme seeks county support for recovery house, workshop spaces
Summary
At the March 3 Vernon County Commission meeting, Lucas Quamme described a recovery house he built and requested funding to add a wood shop and vehicle-repair area; he noted he operates similar facilities in Schell City and El Dorado Springs.
Lucas Quamme met with the Vernon County Commission on March 3, 2026, to present plans for a recovery house on his property and to request financial support for additional workshop space.
Quamme said the facility he has built includes "a 10-man bunkroom, two 2-man bunkrooms and 4 showers," and that he would like to add a wood shop and a place to work on vehicles, which he said will require funding. He told commissioners he operates similar facilities in Schell City and El Dorado Springs.
Why it matters: Quamme framed the proposal as an expansion of local recovery housing capacity with vocational elements intended to support residents' reentry to work. The minutes do not record a vote or formal commitment of county funds at this meeting.
What happens next: The minutes record only Quamme's presentation; no motion, vote, or timeline for funding was recorded. If commissioners choose to pursue funding or referral, the minutes do not specify a department or deadline for that follow-up.
