Re: [LincolnTalk] Community Center - Facts Reminder

Hi, Thank you Seth for this information. Does anyone know if the town will be sending out information via snail mail about the special town meeting on November 30? Many people are not on the Lincoln Talk in this town, and I don’t see anything obvious on the town website about the meeting. I think

The committee has done fantastic work and looked at alternatives in the past and has decided to move forward with these.  I agree having this facility will be nice but if people can’t afford to live in this town what’s the point.  We are not building any new housing to expand our tax base or low in

[LincolnTalk] Community Center

The Town’s dialogue regarding the proposed Community Center is engaging, healthy and vital. However, many of the comments being expressed would be made no matter what the budget – the initial $10-15M estimated cost or the current COVID and inflationary driven $25M. Many townspeople simply don’t wan

It is the tension between perceived wants and needs, and what we can afford. Our population has changed since we began planning. And, our economic climate has definitely changed since we began. We need to be realistic and perhaps scale back. My grandkids Christmas ‘wish list” is huge. I will ha

I agree with Rhonda that we need to give this project a chance. Many people have worked hard for a community center for years, and that alone shows how much it is needed. Bob Mason suggested we ask the architect to cap the cost. It is unfortunate that the two primary proposals are so similar, b
