IN THE SPOTLIGHT:
January 2012 Business of the Month - Wayne ARC
Wayne ARC was started in 1964 by a group of parents in Wayne County that were anxious to find meaningful activities for their developmentally disabled children. In our early years, the ARC operated out of the basement of a church in Lyons, New York and, now, in 2012 we are a large private not for profit organization with many locations and programs throughout Wayne County. We currently have programs, such as Roosevelt Children’s Center, Key Industries and numerous residential locations that serve children as well as adults.
As the programs have grown, so has Wayne ARC’s impact on the community. The ARC of Wayne County employs over 600 staff, has a budget of over $26 million and provides services to over 1400 individuals. Much of the money spent by Wayne ARC and the wages earned by its employees are spent in Newark and the adjoining communities. Wayne ARC is an important part of the village of Newark and helps to make Newark a great place to live, work and visit.
