Progress made on making North Dakota Capitol more accessible

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Progress is being made on making the state Capitol in Bismarck more accessible to those who are physically disabled. State leaders have approved constructing new bathrooms and making other renovations to better accommodate wheelchairs. Over the next year, a meeting room will be made into three larger family restrooms which will be wheelchair accessible. There will also be wider doors installed for some meeting rooms. Contractors will be hired in the coming months and construction will start shortly thereafter.
