My Turn: Thank you for participating and voting at the Annual Town Meeting

April 10, 2024

By the Community Center Building Committee

We thank each and every resident for participating in the development of plans for the Lincoln community center, for voting at the annual town meeting on March 23, 2024, and in the town election on March 25. It has been a long journey starting in 2010 through four previous study groups and committees, with dozens of volunteers who have worked through the complex questions and needs of the town.

At the town meeting on March 23, Lincoln residents voted 444 (81%) to 101 (19%) to approve funding to build the community center on the Hartwell complex on Ballfield Road. At the town election on March 25, voters supported Question 1, on financing the required bonds, by 944 (57%) to 709 (43%). We on the Community Center Building Committee thank you for demonstrating the town’s desire for true community.

Now we move on to the tasks ahead. Our next steps involve finalizing the choice of architect, completing the conceptual design process, and selecting an owner’s project manager to assist us with full budget development, and to ensure the project stays on budget and on schedule. We will continue to provide frequent updates to you. Please join us at our CCBC meetings, continue to send us your questions, and follow our progress on the Community Center website.
