The Senior Center in the old school has about the same amount of space as the old firehouse. No senior is going to meet until this pandemic is over. Why not use that space?

[Don't forget about -9rrr]

If the senior center were used then when the pandemic is over and the seniors want to use their room they would have to argue with the library ( it will take a few years to build the library if it even gets built and then the seniors won't have a center).

Just a thought---Why would anyone want to place the Seniors, or for that fact any person in that moldy cellar space now called "The Senior Center."
Quite frankly all of the below grade space including the Scout Room and the corridors are a mold haven. Any books that might be stored in "The Senior Center" will be as moldy as the blueprints and files stored in the corridors. One other fact : In Order for the township to receive funds and services from Middlesex County Office of Aging and Disabled Services the space MUST be dedicated solely to being a Senior Center--actually by using that room for voting the township could be disqualified from receiving those monies.

Why does the township allow any space within Town Hall to be moldy? It is the responsibility of the TC to ensure the building is safe and properly maintained for all residents. If Cranbury receives funds for the Senior Center, why isn’t it being used to mitigate any mold and properly maintain these spaces??

If there is mold then isn’t that an OSHA issue? I don’t think people can legally work in that environment.

Town hall has staff working. It is just not open to the public no had a construction and tax questions answered over the last month.

Just read the latest letter from Matt Scott. Why does he assume that there will be a new library on Park Place West? With about 700 donors to the library fund out of a town population of 3300, he has to know this has to go to a referendum. Otherwise it will be proven that the new TC is serving their own small group interest.

Don't follow your reason. If we have 700 donations, and that usually represents a household of several people and so several voters = 1400. These are votes in favor of the library plus a significant percentage of the town who are upset that the project has been delayed and that the town should have paid for this from the start. Why go to a referendum?

*Why not have a referendum for the lake project? One could argue that this will be more expensive for a cosmetic fix...

*The Library at least has financial backers that show just how important this project to our town.

A lot of people in town donate because they like the library and it is easier to donate when friends ask then to say no and hurt feelings or risk a friendship. I think 50-200 dollar donations are more of a keep the peace then a true vote of wanting to increase taxes and bind for a million dollars. Look at our own TC. Jay is listed as a donor and has stated he will not vote to bond numerous times. But he also voted to support the grant and for the other township elements.
