* CCBC WORK THIS PAST WEEK*: Site strategies continue to evolve... *Site Planning* Based on feedback on our* initial site strategies <https://lincolntown.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=36365740ad541bc83052fa70a&id=f1623a98a7&e=7eceaf85ef>* to deliver our project at the three necessary price points *(up to 50%, up to 75%, and up to 100% of the $25M estimate from 2018), ICON has developed additional concepts <https://lincolntown.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=36365740ad541bc83052fa70a&id=2258b97c15&e=7eceaf85ef> that keep the parking in its present location, while still making important storm water improvements to the area. *These concepts leave existing green spaces largely intact for campus stakeholders, and will update the community on costs models as soon as we can! Site design needs to balance a variety of priorities, and the CCBC will be working closely with campus stakeholders (Schools, LEAP, and Magic Garden) to evaluate the tradeoffs they present.
*Program Analysis & Development* Our current program <https://lincolntown.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=36365740ad541bc83052fa70a&id=c9a910eea6&e=7eceaf85ef> represents a 10,000 sqft reduction from the 2018 program, and is based on space needed to run existing programs into the future. Town Staff and ICON worked from March through May to refine this program down, and have been updating their program data <https://lincolntown.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=36365740ad541bc83052fa70a&id=a729e22b3e&e=7eceaf85ef> online over the past few weeks. A small CCBC working group met this past week to better understand that process, and they will be sharing their findings at our public meeting this Wednesday night, June 28. *(Details below)* *Community Engagement* *Our next public meeting is this Wednesday, June 28 at 7pm in the Donaldson Room.* We will also be hosting public meetings in both July and August, with dates to be determined soon.

They have all built off of the public consensus established by the prior committees' work. That process has led us to our current charge to develop a range of community center design choices and budgets, including options not to exceed 50% and 75% of the estimated $25M design costs of a new building on the Hartwell Campus. We have partnered with ICON Architecture <https://lincolntown.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=36365740ad541bc83052fa70a&id=c0c7f84fab&e=7eceaf85ef> to help us bring the best possible project options to the Lincoln community in the fall of 2023. If we find consensus, we will request construction funds at Town Meeting 2024. We hold *biweekly public meetings* to review the work to date, and make decisions to move forward. The public are always invited to join us, and public comments are always welcome. In additional, we hold *community forums*, that are larger events expressly designed to solicit community feedback on specific aspects of the project *QUESTIONS?* We always welcome questions at our public meetings and forums, or feel free to contact the Town Administrator's Office at 781-259-2601.
