Good Evening! Can you believe, our 8th graders are getting ready to graduate? They didn’t get to go to the Museum of Science in 6th Grade, or Sargent Camp in 7th, or Washington D.C. in 8th, but we can give them a rocking’ graduation send off! They are raising funds for the graduation ceremony and

Did I miss it, or has no one yet quantified useful spaces at St. Anne’s, the Stone Church, St. Joseph’s and Codman House, nor mentioned whether or not they have kitchens that could be used to feed groups. Plus, there are comparable churches in Wayland and Concord, or the congregations of

I too support taking a second look at renovating the beautiful architectural buildings in our town which are in dire need of upgrade and maintenance —the Mall, Stone Church, Pierce House, Bemis, Old Town Hall, our Library. Lincoln Roads are due for some repaving too. Best, Melinda Sent from

I have been using COA programming for years…15 or so. I have enjoyed multiple programs in multiple settings. How was it possible then, but not now? Perhaps there needs to be better space for social and health services, and even administration, but we need to continue with the use of programming

With regard to the COA using various locations for their programming, the staff of the COA cannot easily run programming in multiple locations and still do the other work they need to do. Programming is a large part of what the COA does but there is also the social work/counseling/problem

Ruth Ann - I can’t speak for others, but I am not disagreeing with the location of the proposed community center.  I agree if one was to be built, the Hartwell location is the optimal one.I am disagreeing that we need a community center at all.  I don’t think we should build one.  Instead I think

The charge to the CCBC, at the Spc.Town Meeting, was to consider alternative locations for a variety of programs, uses and functions. Hartwell was to remain the principle site for NEW construction, but that other sites were to be included for some uses, in order to reduce the amount of new

Five years or so ago, the assigned committees did an EXHAUSTIVE search for potential sites for a new Community Center including multiple open charettes to discuss locations. The overwhelming choice of the large group of participants was to have the Center at Hartwell. The motion at town

I would like to add my two cents to Barbara's comment. Bemis Hall is a wonderful old building but it doesn't meet the needs of very frail elderly people. The entrance ramp into the building is narrow and doesn't easily fit wheelchairs. The ground floor bathrooms can't accommodate wheelchairs.

Hi Peter - My math comes directly from the CCBC’s information, which I linked to… 17,948 gross sf brand new construction + 5,000 sf substantive renovation for LEAP + 2,000 sf of maintenance space = 24,948 sf total. Rounded to 25,000 sf. Seth > On May 10, 2023, at 9:19 AM, Peter von Mertens

There is a healthy debate going on about space required for a Community Center but we should use accurate math. By adding up the subtotals of space from Mr Rosen's memo I arrive at 17,820 sq ft not the 25,000 sq ft quoted. I am glad to see Mr Rosen's encouragement for better spaces for LEAP. I
