Does your town website comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act? Are you ready to bring your website into compliance to better serve ALL members of your community?
Starting on April 24, 2026, for some, and April 26, 2027, for other local governments, the Department of Justice has updated its regulations for Title II Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Therefore, we would like to inform you about a valuable funding opportunity for Massachusetts cities and towns: the Municipal ADA Improvement Grant Program, which is now accepting applications.
This grant supports a wide range of accessibility planning and improvement projects — and notably, digital accessibility audits and improvements to municipal websites are eligible expenses.
At John Guilfoil Public Relations (JGPR), we specialize in creating modern, user-friendly, ADA-compliant municipal websites. Our team can help you make your digital presence inclusive for all with a full website redesign.
Your town’s website should be a vibrant hub of information, news, events and resources for your community.
With funding available, now is the perfect time to upgrade your town’s website and ensure compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The FY26 grant application opened on May 1 and is due by 5 p.m. on June 13.
The deadline is approaching fast, so don’t miss this opportunity to enhance your town’s digital infrastructure with this grant.
