History of the Marblehead Disabilities Commission











The Marblehead Disabilities Commission, formerly the Selectmen's Advisory Committee on Disabilities, was formed at 2004 Town Meeting. The Committee had been in existence for more than 10 years advising the Selectmen on any issues concerning the handicapped and accessibility in the public sector.

The Marblehead Disabilities Commission meets the second Thursday of each month at the Marblehead Community Center and welcomes any interested citizens to attend. The meetings are posted at Abbot Hall.
