Despite the progress of the past several decades, there still exist many barriers for people with disablities, from the hard-to-open door, to home constraints, to unequal policies and practices. In response to the problem, Dukes County Commissioners created the position of Associate Commissioner for Affairs Concerning Handicapped Persons.
This Associate Commissioner assists persons with disabilities, their family members and caregivers, commercial enterprises. and the general public to find solutions to accessibility issues.
The Associate Commissioner welcomes the opportunity to review any planned residential or commercial renovation or construction project for compliance with existing ADA regulations. The goal is to develop the most accessible, functional, and barrier-free environment possible.
Individuals who need a voice of support to resolve a disability issue will find a strong advocate in the Associate Commissioner.
All questions, concerns and other issues will be handled promptly.
