To my fellow Lincoln residents, Lincoln needs a community center which will address the needs of parks and rec and COA /HS and Leap and other organizations. The Hartwell campus is the perfect place for such a center not at Lincoln station. Lincoln station would not have enough parking, parks and rec would need to stay at Hartwell, and you would loose the synergy that you get from a COMMUNITY CENTER. Also, there would be little green space at Lincoln Station for a COA center that contributes to the sense of well being, with open spaces around it. The 50% option would be a waste of money, in my opinion. It doesn't include renovating Leap , which will need to be renovated for several million in the not to distant future. You will have two options to choose from that make any sort of sense. We have been talking about this community center for years, and multiple studies have been made regarding locations, renovating current facilities, many meetings with experts through the years. The outcomes of these studies are readily available at Town Hall if you have questions.
I have lived in Lincoln 40 years, served on the COA board for a total of 14 years and counting. I am a retired geriatric social worker with 20 years experience. I am very aware of the multiple needs of this community, not only seniors but the community at large. I am also on the communications committee for the community center . I am voting 100% option because that is the option that would allow for growth of services to this town and serve it well now and in the future years. Many thanks for your time in reading this.
