Seniors and residents press for Activity Center kitchen, ADA fixes and modernization
Summary
Multiple residents urged restoring the Activity Center kitchen and making the building fully ADA‑compliant (doors, ramps, bathrooms, safer parking) so it can serve seniors, after‑school programs and generate rentable revenue for the town.
Several residents and councilmembers asked the council to prioritize modernization of the Activity Center, including reinstalling a kitchen and fixing accessibility barriers. Diane Hildebrant urged getting the kitchen back and making the doors and bathrooms ADA compliant; multiple commenters said the existing ramp reaches the doors but 'once they get to the doors, they can’t open them.'
Town Manager Suzanne Harvey and SEAGO staff confirmed a comprehensive modernization could be framed as a CDBG‑eligible community facility or SSP planning candidate but cautioned the town must specify a scope for the application. "You get that opportunity to say some specific things," William Osborne told the room, advising that identifying a clearly defined project now improves competitiveness later.
