SOME ADDITIONAL PARKING SPOTS BEING CREATED AT UPPER LEVEL OF MULTIPURPOSE CENTER FOR SENIORS Many seniors keep complaining about the lack of disabled parking at the upper level of the Multipurpose building. We promised to address this problem. And, will have the town public works department create more parking for seniors at the upper level within the next few weeks (hopefully sooner!). This will make it easier for those seniors who can’t walk up the hill to do so.
