CCBC Update, April 2025
This has been a busy, high-energy month for the community center building project! Construction document drafts are in the final stages of review prior to publication on May 30, 2025. Bids for subcontractors are due on May 21, 2025, and bids for the General Contractor will be opened on May 29, 2025. We all recognize these are challenging, unpredictable economic times, so the Community Center Building Committee (CCBC) has worked hard to design within our budget with considerable contingency. The CCBC and Select Board have scheduled meetings in late May and early June to review the bids and approve a path forward. Assuming the bids come in on budget, we expect to sign a construction contract in June and begin work in early July.
Temporary relocation plans are complete for the occupants of the Pods, who will move out as soon as the school year ends. This will free up the area occupied by the three Pods for demolition and the beginning of Community Center construction:
· The school maintenance shop will move into its new permanent home in the Hartwell Building. See our progress images below!
· The Parks and Recreation Department offices will move into the Hartwell Building, and programs will continue in school spaces and the usual locations around town.
· The Lincoln Summer camp will be entirely housed in the Lincoln School as well.
· LEAP will move into the Smith Gym area of the school building.
· Magic Garden Preschool will remain on site and will use the Strats Play area, a safe distance away from construction.
The next CCBC meeting is scheduled for May 21, 2025. We welcome your comments, and questions. Please see the CCBC web site for full information https://lincolncommunitycenter.com
