Pete Camello and Molly Dix attended a meeting with the Amherst Recreation Department and the local sports clubs. The Recreation Department asks all of us to rally and attend the deliberative session on Wednesday this week to support the warrant article to use $250K from the LUCT fund for buying land for future playing fields. Please read the attached memo to learn more about this money, and legislative changes at the state level that could impact our ability to use this money going forward.
At the deliberative session the article will be open to revision and WE NEED YOU to come and help. At this time, this money exists for this purpose but can only be allocated once a year, and with legislative changes the intended uses for this money could also change. PLEASE COME AND HELP, this is one of those times that numbers help, so please do not assume others will take care of this for you. We are all Amherst Soccer Club, our kids all use the fields, and we need to plan for the future. A recent study showed Amherst is 10 fields short for our activity level, and that is with Cemetery Fields still available. When that is taken out of use (soon), we will have serious scheduling issues.
The selectmen support this warrant article 5-0 but we need attendees at the meeting to vote to put the article, as written, on the ballot. Please attend the meeting to vote and get this article on the ballot as written.
Also, tonight is the meeting at Andrew Zell's (President of Amherst Patriots) home (7:00pm – 8:00pm). If you would like to join Eric and Peter at tonight's meeting please give Pete a call at 566-2698 or send him an email.
