It should be noted that some of the projects in the Andy Wang posted - such as the replacement of water pipes (and other Water / Sewage system upgrade or repair projects), as well as road paving & improvement, are often partially or fully paid-for by grants from the State - or sometimes from CPC funds. They do not impact our property taxes.
Bear in mind that such grants from the State will likely be at risk if we do not continue to move forward with the proposed Housing Choice Act-related zoning changes, which is a major topic on the agenda at the upcoming SOTT meeting. All these projects impact each other, which is why I am very glad I’m not on the Select Board! And is also why I very much appreciate the great job Lincoln’s Government and Administration have done, and continue to do: "threading the needle” to help the us successfully navigate all these competing and yet highly interconnected needs and challenges - not just those at the forefront today, but also preparing for those we will need to address in the future. - Allen Vander Meulen > On Sep 15, 2023, at 09:42, Andy Wang <andyrw...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I believe that was provided at the Nov 2022 Special Town meeting.
