St. Paul’s Episcopal Church has a new wheelchair lift thanks to the Essex Heritage Foundation and Newburyport Bank.
In June 2019, St. Paul’s formed an accessibility task force to research, evaluate, and make recommendations to improve access to the grounds and buildings of St. Paul’s on High Street.
In October, the task force’s list of 10 recommendations was approved by St. Paul’s vestry and plans began to raise the money needed for a number of these recommendations. Many of these recommendations have already been implemented with the installation of a new wheelchair lift being the latest.
