County and WL adopt plans to comply with ADA

Tippecanoe County and West Lafayette officials have approved “one-stop” documents designed to answer all questions about complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The A-D-A Transition Plans detail regulations for new and renovated structures, as well as provide a grievance process for individuals who feel they are being discriminated against because of their disability.

Tippecanoe County Commissioners adopted their plan yesterday.

West Lafayette Board of Works members approved a similar document today.

Lafayette does not have an A-D-A Transition Plan in place.

Communities that fail to develop a plan by the end of the year are at risk of losing federal funding.
