It’s an exciting time for the community! Laker Limo has purchased property at 1130 Mottville Road. After two years of searching, a perfect location has been found. It’s conveniently located to serve all residents of both the town and village of Skaneateles.
The Laker Transportation Project is a non-profit transportation provider for seniors and disabled adults of Skaneateles. Laker Limo is the only non-profit that provides wheelchair accessible transportation to the surrounding areas including Syracuse. There is no fee to use Laker Limo; riders are simply asked to make a donation if they can.
“Laker Limo was there for us when we needed help with a wheelchair accessible van for rehabilitation visits. It is an important community asset for individuals of all ages and assistance needs and provides a community connection long after the trip has ended.”
Steve & Patti Ford
As the organization forecasts the total cost of purchasing the property and building a facility to house the vehicles, office, and volunteer spaces, the time has come to reach out to our generous community – the spirit of Skaneateles. The project has an estimated cost of approximately $400,000. We reached out earlier this year to select organizations and individuals with the hope of raising 50% of our goal. We were successful, and are grateful for the generous donations and pledges Laker Limo has received. These donations and pledges provide the foundation for Laker Limo’s next step: our Community Capital Drive. Some of the pledges received are contingent upon Laker Limo’s ability to raise additional funds from the Skaneateles community, so the next step is to solicit broader community-wide support. Construction has begun so we are urgently asking for your support today! We need your help to “Raise the Roof” and complete our much-needed transportation facility.
Please consider a one-time generous gift or pledge to meet our remaining Capital Drive goal of $200,000.
