The groundbreaking ceremony marks the first step in making affordable and truly independent living available to adults with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities in the Big Bend.
This incredible community will offer its residents the opportunity to avail themselves of a full social calendar, continuing education, personal growth and vocational opportunities, recreational activities, healthy meals and active lifestyles, and engagement with neighbors, friends and civic organizations, all with the goal of fostering maximum independence, happiness, and fulfilling lives.
