Thank you for that clarification, Allen. While I haven’t yet concluded where I stand on the budget, or even location, of a Community Center, I think there’s another important consideration. It can be difficult for our public employees to live near, much less within, this town. I’ve lived her

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
