When you look at the total assessed valuation for the town, $.06 cents per thousand valuation equates to approx. $300,000 of annual operating costs.That is a lot of added money to the town expenses for a facility that seems like a want and not a need. We already have a community center and a lot of unused school gym space. And there is no guarantee that this is even a reasonable number. And there is no plan on offsetting any of these costs with usage / membership fees. So the real cost may be a whole lot more.

Concerning the estimate of costs, remember it was TOWN money that was used to get the cost estimate BUT there is no disclosure by the town. Why is this information being withheld from the public??? Who has determined that taxpayers cannot see the detailed information now? So taxpayers fund the cost to get an estimate but the HUB people get the results. And there was supposed to be at least two estimates but now only one?? So this one estimate is now the gold standard? There is no guarantee on anything unless the HUB gets a firm quote to build.
