Summary
Three concepts for a community center were unveiled: a $30.5M core, $40.1M with theater, $43.9M with aquatics. A packed room of arts families pushed hard for the theater option, but the council made no decision and funding remains the big question — only about $9.6 million is truly available for capital projects.

Impact analysis
Anywhere from $30 million to $44 million to build, against roughly $9.6 million the town actually has available for capital projects — expect the bond-or-financing debate to continue.
Residents of all ages, especially active adults, youth sports families, and the arts community if the theater concept advances.
Taxpayers could face higher taxes or debt service if a bond referendum is pursued.

New plans show a full-size turf field fits beside the proposed community center with theater and gym. Council may greenlight the turf field next meeting using $4 million left in the park project budget; the mayor wants to raise $40 million privately rather than raise taxes.

The long-debated community center gets one more look: Concept 2B keeps the theater-component building size and pairs it with the originally approved 11-v-11 turf field.
