The town is planning to build a new community and senior center sometime in the near future, but the “when” and “how” are still uncertain. No referendum date has been set and community information sessions are not yet in the works. Public forums initially gaged interest in 2018, with residents expressing excitement about the possibility of a project. The town was awarded a $750,000 grant from the state in 2019, to begin a study for the new facility. Quisenberry Aracri Malik (QA+M Architecture) was enlisted in April 2020 to design the project and execute the plans. But before the design is finalized, the price tag is set and the plans are put out for voters’ approval, a list of steps must be completed. This pre-referendum work started in May of 2020. The next steps would be to hold public information meetings, revise the designs based on feedback and finalize the concept plans before a referendum.
