COMMUNITY CENTER BUILDING COMMITTEE October 2023 *What is the purpose of the December 2 Special Town Meeting (STM)?* At the STM, on December 2, 2023, the CCBC will present Community Center building concepts for four possible project budgets, so that the residents of Lincoln can understand what value the town can hope to create at the different levels of investment. At the meeting, those attending will then vote to choose the concept and budget that the CCBC will develop and will present for a funding vote at the Town Meeting in March, 2024. The meeting will open at 8:15 a.m. and the presentations will start at 9:30 a.m., in the school auditorium.
Following the motion approved by the town in November, 2022, and based upon the feedback from the State of the Town Meeting (September 30, 2023), the four concepts will include: - A project with an estimated cost of $23.02 million; - A one-story project with an estimated cost no more than $18.75 million; - A smaller version of the one-story project with a lower project cost; and - A project with an estimated cost of no more than $12.5 million. In November, there will be a series of opportunities for Lincoln residents to learn about the Community Center plans, to ask questions and to provide feedback: - Public Forum: Tues., November 14, at 7:00 p.m., Hartwell Multipurpose Room; - CCBC meeting: Weds., November 15, at 7:00 p.m., Donaldson Room; - COA&HS Coffee Hour: Weds., November 29, at 10:30 a.m., Bemis Hall; - CCBC meeting: Weds., November 29, at 7:00 p.m., Donaldson Room.
