According to a press release, the center is now ADA accessible and is equipped with a new, widened front door, wheelchair-friendly bathroom, and a fully paved parking lot complete with ADA parking.

Funding for these updates was secured through a grant offered to election authorities throughout the state to help update Polling Place Accessibility used in elections.

The Union County Clerk’s Office requested funding for the Wolf Lake Community Center and the Dongola Community Center to each be updated in order to be ADA compliant. The amount given through the Polling Place Accessibility Grant was $61,114.13, and was split evenly between the two community centers that are both used as polling places in Union County elections.
