Default 5 Million Dollar Moultonboro Rec Center Proposal

Has any local folks following the recent discussions and proposal of another $5 Million dollar project for Moultonboro Taxpayers to swallow? Even worse that we already spent close to $50,000 to create the proposed project! With the construction of the multimillion dollar safety building/fire station/police department and minimal use for town functions, it seems like the selectman/selectwomen are pushing for more major development as the previous financing bonds come to completion. With the state and local economies seriously hurting with employment and housing, it certainly doesn't see appropriate to be wasting hard earned tax dollar contributions on another huge project at this time. It appears making the investment to purchase the property for future development and growth wasn't good enough for the town leaders. They certainly are anxious to dig into our wallets first before we manage to determine what exists for our personal finances and current or future obligations. Moultonboro is quickly becoming an unaffordable town for the younger and middle age generation. Apparently our town leaders don't realize how many full time residents currently are required to commuter at least 1 hour or longer to work due to
such poor local wage scales in comparison with housing costs. It seems like the "old money" and older folks who have owned their homes and have much smaller housing budgets are making the decisions for all residents regardless of affordability for all. They keep pushing how Moultonboro is growing to senior residents. The majority of younger or middle age seniors don't have spare change to be wasting with town projects beyond their minimum living accomodations, transportation, food costs, medical insurance, presicriptions, etc. I hope more residents speak up against the development of this project during such an unstable and bad economy locally and globally.
