The plans to make Town Hall handicapped accessible again are taking shape.
At Wednesday’s meeting, Select Board member Norm Russell, liaison to the Town Hall Building Committee, reported that the committee now has at least a rough idea of the cost of bringing the Town Hall up to code. He said the cost will run to “thousands of dollars rather than tens of thousands.”
According to Russell, the committee is trying to create enough space to pull a van up to Town Hall for unloading. This may mean moving the flagpole, though only a few feet. The committee is also looking into moving the Police Department to the new town garage, to open up more space for offices in Town Hall.
One move the committee is not considering is a way to make the upstairs stage handicapped accessible. The cost of a lift from the floor to the stage level would run tens of thousands of dollars.
