From the Associated Press:
TALLADEGA – The Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Blind will break ground on a $1.3 million nursing center.
The center is expected to be completed early next year.
AIDB serves 24,500 individuals statewide and provides full-time nursing and health care to approximately 2,000 children and adults on the Talladega campuses. They include the Alabama School for the Blind, the Alabama School for the Deaf, the Helen Keller School, the E. H. Gentry Center and Alabama Industries for the Blind.
AIDB president John Mascia says the center is needed because of some previous accessibility issues.
