Commission pursues AARP Community Challenge grant to make gazebo ADA-accessible
Summary
The commission plans to apply for an AARP Community Challenge grant to rehabilitate a Green Belt gazebo near the welcome center and add ADA access in light of a new train depot; staff expects awards this summer if the grant is successful.
Staff reported the commission intends to apply again for the AARP Community Challenge grant to fund accessibility improvements to the gazebo in the Green Belt near the welcome center.
"...we're going to try to update and rehab the gazebo in the Green Belt by the welcome center to make it ADA accessible," Matthew Wright said, noting the need is driven in part by a new train depot that requires improved access. The grant writer will submit applications between March and April, and staff hopes to hear results in the summer.
Commissioners discussed related equipment-loan resources and local options for low-cost assistive equipment; staff said Medicare generally does not cover durable medical equipment while Medicaid might, and Age of Central Texas operates an equipment loan program.
