Our next meeting will on April 20, 2015 and we will have Martha and Eric visiting to discuss a Senior Center in the future. We were asked to think about what type of space we would recommend as being needed “Food for Thought” is an expression in my notes. Martie handed out some interesting charts one on the percentage of senior population boom in the Merrimack Valley area. Also Data from our Town Clerk dated
February 2015.
I have attached a suggested layout with square footage that was taken from the Little River Project in 2006 and retyped in March of 2015.This was provided to me by Martie.
It is certainly something to work from at this meeting.
