Time to focus on community center
To the editor,
Time and time again, Scarborough residents have voiced a desire for a Community Center and concern about traffic congestion. Time and time again, the Town Council seems to approve yet one more developer’s request for an override of caps on construction permits. In the meantime, little progress is made on projects that have been analyzed and discussed year after year, i.e. schools, Community Center. As the new Council begins its work, I hope that it works collaboratively with town boards and committees to prioritize building projects benefitting residents, like a Community Center, rather than projects which accrue profits for developers.
