Springville, Tenn.–To avoid the dangerous heat and humidity, the last two nights crews have worked through the night to construct the ABLE Farms equine therapy program. The slabs for the Ministry Center and the Pavilion are essentially done. Plans are in place to pour the stables early next week. Following the pouring of the buildings, the Ministry Center, Pavilion, and Stables will all be framed and get dried in before pouring the remainder of the concrete walkways.
Brother Randy Stephens said, “The concrete is important because it allows our friends who use wheelchairs to get out of their vehicles at the front door of the Ministry Center on concrete and stay on concrete as they access every building on campus. Access is one step toward creating a place of belonging for people of all abilities and backgrounds.” ABLE Farms is the successor to Hoofbeats of Hope equine therapy program and is located at 1100 Sulphur Well Academy Rd. The Hoofbeats of Hope program was located in Cottage Grove for many years. ABLE Farms photo.
