We have a new elevator! Waltham Mayor Jeannette McCarthy joined Opportunities for Inclusion participants and staff on August 21 to cut a bright red ribbon and help celebrate our newly modernized elevator. With the help of a City of Waltham CDBG grant, we were able to modernize our 40+ year old elevator. Participants in our programs who use wheelchairs and walkers now have a safe, reliable elevator to use.
