The County has made an agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice to repair numerous county buildings that are not in compliance with Title II of the Americans With Disabilities Act standards.

According to a county press release today, the DOJ has given the County time to make the needed repairs.

Temporary accommodations will be made during these repairs for all county facilities not in compliance.

The agreed upon decree was proposed by the DOJ in September of 2016.

The county buildings in violation of the ADA are listed below.
