Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This prjoect would allow ARC of St. Johns County to construct a special needs shelter on their site to serve their clients and other special needs patients during a hurricane evacuation.  During the rest of the year, the facility would serve as a cafeteria for the ARC of St. Johns, freeing up the old cafeteria for more training programs.  Further, this site is located very near I-95 on one of the main East/West evacuation routes in St. Johns County, providing a very accessible location for evacuation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measurable Outcome Anticipated:

 

 

 

 

 

Significant decrease in evacuation time for St. Johns County special needs residents.
