The number one priority with our Second Century project is to add an elevator and make our building welcome and accessible to everyone. To power the new elevator we needed an electrical service upgrade to what is called a three phase service. Without this three phase service we have no elevator and no accessibility and really no Second Century project. The closest utility pole carrying a three phase service was North on Elm street about a block and a half away. In order to set new utility poles on Elm street for the three phase service upgrade we needed approval form Smith college, Town Hall and the Northampton tree Warden, and maybe a miracle or two. We got our miracle and the three phase service upgrade thanks to all involved especially National Grid! Praise the lord!!!=
