A not-for-profit in Ontario County has been awarded $1.8 million in Empire State Development grants to construct a new inclusive Wellness Center.
The Cobblestone Arts Center is a not-for-profit in Farmington that brings visual and performing arts to rural communities with a special focus on programming for people with disabilities. Cobblestone will construct a new inclusive Wellness Center catering to the needs of the disabled population but making it accessible to the entire community ensuring people of all abilities feel welcome. This expansion will allow Cobblestone to serve up to 100 additional people with disabilities.
The Wellness Center will house a gym, a pool, a track, a workout space, a library, meeting rooms for senior citizens, mental health services, acupuncture, massage therapy, and a childcare center. The new center will include a daycare with space for up to 100 children, prioritizing children with special needs and those from low-income families.
The Total Project Cost is $12 million.
