INCLUSION, EQUITY and ACCESSIBILITY

ENSURING THE 15-MINUTE CITY SERVES ALL

Johnson-Wright cited Cambridge, Massachusetts’ Storefront Improvement Program as a model for a public-private partnership resulting in access for all.

“The Program improves the physical appearance of independent businesses and enhances access,” she said of the resource available to property owners and tenants.

“Reimbursement grants range from $2,500 to $35,000, based on the scope of work.

For barrier removal, there’s a 90 percent matching grant up to $20,000 for ADA improvements to entrances, including ramps, lifts, doors hardware and automatic openers, accessible parking and signage.”
