Thank you Mr Gregg for the clarification that you are indeed a Lincoln taxpayer.On a side note: I personally am very much in favor of sharing facilities in our neighboring towns. For example The Beede Center in Concord and The Weston AIC are both fantastic facilities close by. I encourage people
To be journalistically ‘fair’ it should be pointed out that John has been a
long time resident of Lincoln- until recently.

Dear Lincoln ,
As a current home owner in Lincoln I would like to point out that the previous
post has been written by a resident of Sudbury .
It is my hope that careful consideration of how this project will impact the
residents of Lincoln in all income brackets is at the top of the agenda.
The best gift a town or society can give is to give back. Do you think the
people who built Pierce home or Bemis Hall or LPS so many years ago were
concerned about the family dichotomy of 2023? Nope, that is why they build a
capsule to explain what things were like back then so when they take

I would love to see something like this in town and would be happy to be part

Hi Sara/Linda McMillan. What a great suggestion, which could be implemented in
the near term. Might COA and Pierce House staff connect to see about having a
community drop-in room (or rooms) soon? Copying Abigail Butt.

There are lovely rooms (recently redecorated) that could hold comfy chairs.

While I fully support the COA and have been a volunteer for many years, the
design of the new “Community Center” (at last I looked), does not support one
of the biggest program needs of seniors, that is, LONELINESS. There are many
seniors who have lost a spouse, or who live alone for various

Thanks John , a lot to think about here. And yes, a good, well researched plan
is being picked apart to such a degree that it may never happen. All of Lincoln
could benefit greatly from a Community Center. And it will never cost less
than it will if we move forward now.

If you build it they will come.
You have services but no facility which makes it harder on the Parks and Rec
staff or LEAP to provide quality services to everyone. You build a school with
up to date facilities to help encourage people to move to Lincoln with
children, you provide elderly
