[Nfb-arkansas] Question about ADA, and Federal Grants

[Digest Dave]

I am not aware of any Federal grants to do this -- and with the 
separation of church and state, such a program would be unlikely.

If a public building does major renovations, then updating to current 
ADA standards is necessary.  Since work is being done anyway -- 
adhering to ADA standards is only an incremental cost anyway.
