Dear Lincoln ,
As a current home owner in Lincoln I would like to point out that the previous

It is my hope that careful consideration of how this project will impact the
residents of Lincoln in all income brackets is at the top of the agenda.

There are lovely rooms (recently redecorated) that could hold comfy chairs.

While I fully support the COA and have been a volunteer for many years, the
design of the new “Community Center” (at last I looked), does not support one
of the biggest program needs of seniors, that is, LONELINESS. There are many

If you build it they will come.
You have services but no facility which makes it harder on the Parks and Rec
staff or LEAP to provide quality services to everyone. You build a school with
up to date facilities to help encourage people to move to Lincoln with
children, you provide elderly serv
