BY RICH HOSFORD VILLAGER STAFF WRITER STURBRIDGE — Visitors to the Sturbridge Town Hall may be frus- trated in their attempt to enter if they go to the front door. The doors have been locked since the building reopened in August in order to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act and state regu- lations. Some town officials, though, said they would like to have the front doors open for public use. Town Administrator Shaun Suhoski said the Board of Selectmen asked him at a recent meeting to look into the possibility of getting the doors open. The logic was that if the main entrance in the back, which is handicapped accessi- ble, remains open, why could the town not have the front doors as a secondary entrance? “It’s common sense, the board wants the front door of the Town Hall open for convenience,” Suhoski said, adding that people often walk to the building from library or post office or the Central Office Building across the street. “It would be easier for people to have the front doors Rich Hosford photo Shawn Kelley photo open. Also, this is the historic entrance to the building.” The front doors of Town Hall have been STURBRIDGE — Ripe apples are seen weighing down a branch at Hyland Orchard in Sturbridge as they hang from the tree Suhoski added that both the front locked since the building reopened in over the Columbus Day weekend. and rear entrance have foyers, August to comply with laws concerning which would help the building people with disabilities. maintain heat. “We can do it, the foyer will pre- “What we are doing with this Orchards affected by year’s wacky weather vent drafts,” he said. setup is encouraging people to walk Suhoski said the board has decid- down a street used by people coming ed to try for the variance and he and to Town Hall and it is the main BY M.
