Senior Housing Update
A 39 unit apartment complex planned by Hudson Companies (pictured) for Cochranton senior residents opened in 2021. CARE has opened an endowment account to keep programs and local engagement ongoing.
ADA Compliance in Lions Park
Partnering with the Cochranton Borough Council, CARE helped secure a grant to provide handicap accessible equipment and provide wheelchair access to play areas within Lions Park. A grant to fund permanent bathroom facilities has been submitted with outcome expected in the Fall 2024. CARE remains hopeful that this project will come to fruition.
The playground now sports two sliding board units, one for the older kids and one for the younger set, and a bright red climbing net for all. The next phase of the project will bring new teeter-totters, new paint to old structures and mulch in the fall zones. With the latest grant secured by the Borough Council and CARE, a handicap accessible merry-go-round will be added to the park by late summer 2024.
French Creek Access
New signage, picnic tables and landscaping was put in place on April 14. Place holders for flags and the French Creek historical marker were prepped.
The parking area will be stabilized with addition gravel this spring and kayak/canoe tie-ups will be added soon.
Located at the base of the French Creek Rt 173 bridge, the launch and landing site welcomes water enthusiasts and picnickers through the summer season.
