Notes about physical inclusion

Any additional information about physical accessibility you feel would be helpful to people with disabilities and their families
The community center is located in downtown Frederick, a historical building area that was established in 1748. Though there are not full modern accommodations, it is clear that because of the age of the buildings and streets it would be expensive and time consuming to change the physical barriers of the property. It should be noted that many different aspects of physical inclusion on the property are not up to par with the current standard.
