Whatever we do, wherever we build it and whatever it costs let us not lose this opportunity to build a much needed Community Center ( or Village Hall as some Europeans call it ). There has been a tremendous amount of thought, time, resources and consensus through multiple committees over ten years to develop a plan at Hartwell. If we vote no on allocating money for architecture and engineering relook/ revamp of existing plans we will have to eventually duplicate dollars for services we have already purchased. My hope is that we can relook at the work that has been done and find a way to reduce costs to a palatable level. Then let’s see what the private fundraising group can do to help reduce taxes further on the project. History shows that a community center can unite a community, offer educational opportunities, provide much needed facilities, promote health and well-being, encourage creativity and culture, enhance the ability to share valuable information, support a wide variety of community projects, combat loneliness, positively affect lives of younger people, provide volunteer activities. Now more than ever we live in challenging times that require us to pull together to bring as much community support as possible to all of our Lincoln residents. I hope you will consider voting YES on Wednesday evening.
