Commissioners approve letter supporting Jubilee Lake accessibility pilot project
Summary
Union County commissioners unanimously approved a letter of support for a Jubilee Lake pilot project to repair trails, install a dock and restroom gates, and improve access for seniors and people with disabilities; proponents cited county demographics to justify accessibility improvements.
Commissioners approved a letter of support for funding and improvements at Jubilee Lake, a recreation site in north Union County, after a presentation from Commissioner Jake Seavert describing a hard-surface trail and deteriorating dock and restroom gates.
Seavert explained the original hard-surface trail (installed in 1992) has had little maintenance and is now difficult for seniors and people with disabilities to navigate. He noted county demographics to frame the proposal: "Union County's population consists of 22 percent seniors and 15 percent disabled," and said the pilot would improve access and could serve as a model for other parks.
Commissioner Paul Anderes moved to approve the Jubilee Lake Pilot Project Letter of Support, Commissioner Seavert seconded, and the motion carried unanimously.
