Thank you Peter. I agree that point #2 should be addressed at Town meeting. Melinda Bruno-Smith …….2) The town has yet to disclose other competing capital expenditures in the pipeline for the town's tax resources. I have heard rumors that we soon will need to replace the drinking water pipes

Re: [LincolnTalk] Last Night's Community Center Forum

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

Re: [LincolnTalk] Last Night's Community Center Forum

According to the Housing Choice Act Grant program website (page 2 in the link below), grants range from $50K - $300K. The program has only $4M in funding total for the state, so Lincoln would be competing with other municipalities for the grants (i.e. we are not even guaranteed the $50k). *We can
