Simsbury Town Hall's Elevator Shut Down

SIMSBURY, CT — The elevator at the Simsbury Town Hall/Simsbury Board of Education building is out of commission, with local leaders giving notice of the situation Thursday.

Workers closed the elevator on Thursday as they were starting up an extensive maintenance project of the lift, with the elevator expected to be closed for 10 weeks, according to the town.

As a result, visitors to the building — located at 933 Hopmeadow St. — will have to access upper floors via stairs, with special accommodations being made to work with those unable to use the stairs.
"During this time, the facility will not be accessible to persons with mobility issues; the only accessible level of the building will be the police lobby," wrote the Town of Simsbury Thursday.

Despite the temporary situation, those unable to use the stairs will be able to conduct any town/school business at the site.

"We will do our best to accommodate and provide assistance during this challenging time," wrote the town.

"Visitors with mobility issues may call the town offices or board of education to request curbside assistance or to meet with staff in the police lobby."

Those with mobility issues can call Simsbury's town offices at 860-658-3230 or the Simsbury Board of Education at 860-651-3361.
