I agree that this (a “pause”) would be a good idea. Back when the CCBC survey came out a resident wrote to say that it didn’t contain the important question as to whether the responder was in favor of building a community center at Hartwell (or at all). The CCBC was requested to send out a second survey but this never happened. Moreover, the meeting (in 2018?) at which there was a “unanimous” vote for the Harwell site was not attended by anything like a majority of town voters. Someone estimated that there were perhaps 150 people there. And, as you point out, this was a long time ago and many things have changed since then.

However, is there an option to pause all this work forward on the Community Centre and actually check in with the whole community whether they want this project to go ahead? (Method to be determined, perhaps some kind of mandatory vote? Don't tear me apart on this specific, I'm just thinking out loud.) Seems to me that there's been a lot of turnover in people living in Lincoln, many of whom, like ourselves, are young pandemic or post-pandemic transplants. We did not have a say in whether this is a project that we wanted (or can afford) since the vote happened so long ago, and many of us are new or first time home owners. Given the incredible amount of division on the issue, especially on Lincoln Talk and at town meetings, maybe we can pause and check in before plowing ahead?
