A groundbreaking was held on Thursday, Jan. 4 at the future location of a housing complex for adults in the Webster County community with disabilities. Jordan’s Place is a housing project that non-profit WC CapeAbilities, along with the Webster County SB 40 board, has worked tirelessly to bring to Webster County. WC CapeAbilities was formed to support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Webster County. The SB 40 board was created by Senate Bill 40. Each person in Webster County pays a small tax that goes specifically toward individuals with developmental disabilities due to this bill. Two weeks ago, the SB 40 board sold and transferred a piece of property they owned on West Washington Street, which put the plan for a housing complex in motion.
