Crumbling Foundation


Most folks in town have probably heard about the Community Center's plight. The foundation is crumbling, consequently the non-profit that operates this formerly public building is conducting a fundraising campaign to pay for the repairs.

Here is more information about the project - http://communitycenterinjericho.wordpress.com/

There is a precedent for the Selectboard to allot monies toward community projects. Two years ago the board assigned $2,000 toward the playground overhaul at Jericho Elementary. I am told that there were a number of other gifts in this realm.

From what I've witnessed, the support for the community center is mostly coming from residents in Jericho Center (see/sign the petition to support this effort). So, I'd especially like to hear from Jericho residents who live in other parts of town.

My question for you is this: do you support your taxes being spent on this project? If so, what amount is acceptable?
