ADA Transition Plan

The Town of Kill Devil Hills strives to assure that Town services and programs are accessible. A majority of the Town facilities have been designed, built, and renovated to comply with federal and state accessibility code requirements. However, since some facilities may have barriers that could limit full accessibility, the town is developing an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan to enable the Town to remove identified barriers.

The ADA Transition Plan will also establish precedence for future projects to ensure that the Town buildings and facilities are equally accessible to all.

Employment: Town of Kill Devil Hills does not discriminate on the basis of disability in its hiring or employment practices and complies with all regulations promulgated by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission under Title I of the ADA.

Modifications to Policies and Procedures: Town of Kill Devil Hills will make all reasonable modifications to policies and programs to ensure that people with disabilities have an equal opportunity to enjoy all of its programs, services, and activities.
