Officials Order Cameras and Upgrade Accessibility Features at Hillcrest Towers

During the recent Housing Authority Board meeting in Fayetteville, significant steps were discussed to enhance safety and accessibility at Hillcrest Towers, a facility primarily serving senior and disabled residents. The board announced the installation of security cameras throughout Hillcrest Towers, Lewis Plaza, and Willow Heights to bolster safety measures for residents.

However, the meeting revealed a setback: the sliding doors intended for installation at Hillcrest Towers have been lost in transit. Despite this challenge, the board remains committed to improving accessibility and security. Plans are underway to reinforce existing doors and add push-through bars, making it easier for residents with disabilities to access the building.

The board emphasized the importance of ensuring that Hillcrest Towers is a safe environment for its residents. Enhancements will also include upgrading the fob system for better reliability and compatibility with the new security technology being implemented.

These initiatives reflect the board's dedication to addressing the needs of vulnerable community members and ensuring that their living environment is both secure and accessible. As these improvements progress, they aim to create a safer and more welcoming space for all residents.
