New Group Home for ADDWC

EUREKA – The Association for the Developmentally Disabled of Woodford County (ADDWC) is moving ahead with the construction of a new group home in Eureka. The new home will serve eight residents and replaces a house in Washington that was lost in the 2013 tornado. Keith McArdle, CEO of ADDWC said that the board decided to construct a new home rather than try to retrofit an existing single-family home. The structure will be built by Homeway Homes and is expected to be completed in early 2015. For more information, call 309-467-3015.
