Re: [LincolnTalk] State Grants - Housing Choice Act Working Group update!

I think it is important to clarify what grants the town would be eligible for if we decide not to comply with HCA. Contrary to what the Housing Choice Act Working Group's website states, none of the grants received by the town sinc

Re: [LincolnTalk] Updated Housing Choice Act Zoning FAQs

Can we discuss how flawed this traffic study is? 1) It was conducted in December of 2020- at the height of the pandemic. 2) It assumes most employers will continue allowing employees to work from home. 3) It only takes into account the roads between the police station and just after Donelans at

Re: [LincolnTalk] Places to drop in and chat

What if an informal event was hosted by the Pierce House? Would that require a COA staff person? A 2x/month afternoon, esp. in winter with a fire in the fireplace…would be pretty sweet. The knitting group might love one of those rooms for their meetings. Maybe others would too. It seems a shame

That’s a good idea, too, Ed. Perhaps the Tarbell Room and/or adjacent rooms (magazine room with comfortable seating) could be a possibility for a community drop-in —once a month, twice a month, or once a week, for a specified time period? Sarah Liepert > On Sep 18, 2023, at 6:11 PM, Edward You

Thank you Sarah for posting regarding flawed traffic study. 240 units in the middle town would likely add over 300 cars and by some quick math 300 cars lined up would be bumper to bumper traffic between South Lincoln and the school. It would be a mess for those of us that live in South Lincoln. Pl
