Just out of curiosity, what is going on with the Old Town Hall Exchange?

Bemis Hall is used by the Council on Aging & Human Services, other Town
Government Organizations, Lincoln (non-Government) Organizations and is rented
for private events. Demand for it use is increasing as we recover from the
COVID isolation. Many days are booked a long time in advance. Parking is
limited. The First Parish Church allows users to park in their parking lot, IF
it is not being used for a Church event. Pulling out of the Bemis Parking
spaces requires backing into Bedford Road.
Lincoln has been talking about a community space for many decades. Many
creative ideas were discussed and then rejected due to security, legal and/or
liability issues. The last Community Center Committee investigated, and
presented, many options. Several were discussed at Town Meeting and the
Meeting decided on building a Community Center on the School’s Campus but delay
the final design and construction until the completion of the School Building
Project. The current Community Center Committee was task to continue this
effort.
We do not have enough space for Town Government and non-profit organizations to
hold events. Peirce House has limited space. The schools can be used when the
custodiams are there (weekdays only), or the user pays their overtime. And
Bemis Hall.
Lincoln needs more meeting and event space and we have been discussing the need
for more community space for decades. It is time to make a decision.

Hi Mr Rosen,
Thank you for your remarks re: the Community Center.
Bemis is used for many things. Including but not limited to exercise. The
COA& HS director Abigail Butt, is very involved with obtaining many many
social benefits for ages 60+.
The Bemis Hall is also used for outside events.
