Lake County United Update August 5, 2021
A recap of news of LCU’s work to bring formable social justice change to Lake County :
After obtaining funding from two sources to fund a pilot broadband program using WiFi antennas, we have put the project on hold. The signal does not travel as far as the vendors promised to have enough of an impact and would cost an additional $80,000 to stretch the signal to less than ½ of the distance originally promised. LCU is discussing status with funders to explore other options.
County Winchester House Land
- Seeking to develop a environmentally sustainable green affordable mixed use housing community on the old Winchester house property.
County Board Members stated the use of this land will not be decided until numerous studies are conducted, which could take five years. If interested, there is an LCU team focused on outreach to build support for the Winchester House land to be used for housing. This is county land and therefore anyone living in Lake County can be involved.
