Lee obtained funding from the Massachusetts Office on Disability to conduct an ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plan, which establishes a roadmap to increase the accessibility of public buildings, parks, and services.

The evaluation identifies accessibility barriers, and the transition plan creates a prioritized timeline for the town to make improvements. The plan enables the community to apply for financial support to implement the established goals.

The Berkshire Regional Planning Commission worked with town officials and department heads to assess town-owned properties, inventory pedestrian access in the downtown, and develop the plan. For more information about ADA Self-Evaluation and Transition Plans please contact the Community Planning Department. “
