Sheltered Workshop asks for voters’ support on levy

The Hancock County Sheltered Workshop is actively soliciting voter support for the renewal of an excess levy that has been essential for its operations since the early 1990s. This levy provides vital funding that supports programs for individuals with disabilities, ensuring they receive necessary services and opportunities for integration into the community. As the election date approaches, officials are rallying the community to recognize the importance of this levy for the workshop's sustainability and success. The workshop not only serves its direct beneficiaries but also contributes to local economic stability and social well-being. If the levy is not renewed, the workshop faces potential operational difficulties that could severely limit its capacity to serve the community.

Community support is vital, and officials are urging residents to educate themselves about the implications of the ballot measure. The workshop's long-standing history of positive local impact underlines the need for continued funding through this levy. Voter participation is crucial for maintaining the essential services that the workshop provides to the Hancock County community.
