ADAMS, Mass. — The town is working on a plan to address accessibility for residents from parks to Town Hall to its website. But so far it’s doing a good job in making its public area accessible.
“Adams, for all the buildings, is in very good shape. I think it’s clear that for years, this town has definitely taken their ADA responsibility, seriously,” Andrew McKeever told the Selectmen at their meeting last week. “There’s nothing really egregious that’s out there.”
McKeever, a community planner with the Berkshire Regional Planning Commission, was updating the Selectmen on the progress in identifying areas of need.
The BRPC is helping Adams conduct a self-evaluation to identify barriers that exist for disabled residents to programs and services and develop a transition plan to bring it into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The project is being funded through a Massachusetts Office of Disability grant.
