The letter to the board emphasized the importance of having the ADA coordinator’s expertise in accessibility standards integrated into the planning process. The commission unanimously supported this proposal, stressing the critical opportunity to incorporate the needs of all community members, particularly those with disabilities, into the town’s housing initiatives.

Another discussion point was the update on the lower-level town hall threshold request, which was previously set to be addressed by the selectmen. The commission considered following up to ensure this issue, crucial for accessibility, progresses through the necessary channels.

Additionally, the Dighton Commission on Disabilities members discussed various initiatives and updates, including the hosting of an art show by Cooperative Production Incorporated, which will feature creative works by individuals with disabilities. The commission also explored the possibility of applying for upcoming grants to fund community projects that enhance accessibility or provide workshops and events for residents with disabilities.
