Going to the polls might be a little bit easier for some next week. Eleven more are Americans with Disabilities Act Accessible in Wood County.

Contractors have finished paving, painting lines for handicap parking, pouring concrete for a ramp, and more to make 11 more precincts Americans with Disabilities Act accessible.

A 2000 survey showed 33 weren't so the Wood County Clerk's office received a $10,000 grant from the West Virginia Secretary of State's office.

"Our goal is to have all of them accessible, which is really tough. In some cases we use private businesses. Not all of our precincts are in schools while most of them are, we're in churches, we're in community buildings we're in places of business," said Wood County Clerk Jamie Six.

Work was done at several precincts including the Washington Community Building parking lot, Franklin Elementary School and Neale Elementary School.

Six said they plan to apply for another grant in July to make as many precincts as they can ADA accessible before the general election.
