Does a few people emailing Lincoln Talk really constitute "widespread concern"? The email clearly states that the survey is intended to get more feedback from Lincoln residents "as it develops plans for a community center." This does not mean the survey itself is flawed.
The community already voted at the town meeting last November to spend $325,000 to "develop “a range of Community Center design choices and budgets, including options not to exceed 75% and 50% of the current project estimated cost of $25 million, for the Hartwell Complex, supplemented or not with existing available town space.” There will be a vote on the preferred option at another STM a year from now, and a funding vote in March 2024."
