New England ADA Compliance Contacts

January 12, 2007

Owners, architects, and engineers are required to comply with the federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and regulations, and any state requirements. However, it is sometime difficult to come to a clear understanding of what is required for a specific project and issue. There is no single authority to issue an official opinion and settle the matter. However, there are several people who can provide advice and opinions:
