Contributed by Mike FeazelThe Lake Monticello Community Foundation board voted unanimously Wednesday (April 9) to work with the Lake Monticello Owners Association to install a floating swim platform and a wood-like mobility mat to make it easier for those with mobility issues to access the beach and docks. The platform and mat, which would be completely financed by the foundation, are to be installed at the Lake’s Main Beach, hopefully in time for this summer’s swim season.
