Jeanette Wolfberg is reporting for The Columbia Paper the concerns expressed by Hudson aldermen about problems with the stairwell doors in Bliss Towers was discussed at a recent meeting of the Hudson Housing Authority Board of Commissioners. HHA Executive Director Tim Mattice reported that “we’ve opened” the door to one of the stairwells and have ordered a camera at the location. Alarms will still sound when the door is open. And one will be able to open the doors to other stairwells only in case of fire. But “we’re working on that,” Mattice said. Also at the meeting, the board voted to accept a $470,000 elevator upgrade bid from Otis Elevator Company. The life span for an elevator is 20 years and the two, high-use lifts at Bliss are more than 20 years old and often out of order. The plan is to keep the machinery and to replace the controls and the doors with Otis brand equipment. The work would take 12 to 14 weeks per elevator to complete once approval is received and a down payment is made. Read the full story in The Columbia Paper.
