Hi,
My name is Jamie Turbyne and I live at 35 Chester St, within Ward 3. I have been a supporter of the PAC from
day 1, and I continue to be now. I would like to urge the BoA to continue down the path of realizing the PAC
and making it a reality for our city. The Nashua downtown needs an anchor, it needs a place that will bring a
constant flow of people to see shows, have dinner at our fantastic restaurants and check out all the other shops
and small businesses in the area.
Nashua sits in the heart of a very dynamic region. Nashua, as a city, needs to offer a compelling set of attributes
to attract new residents and businesses, as well as keep the ones it already has. Ultimately, Nashua is in
competition with the cities and towns in the area to represent itself in the best way possible to bring new people
in and expand its tax base. A vibrant downtown, anchored by a Performing Arts Center, would make the city
exciting, it would offer a constant stream of entertainment, engagement and involvement with the citizens of not
just the city, but the entire region.
Extending the deadline to raise the necessary funds for the PAC makes sense. It's a massive project, and
massive projects take time, The ownership of raising those funds is still in the hands of those, such as myself,
that view this project as a future crown jewel of the city. It's a vote for more time, time that is needed to realize
the vision.
I urge you to support this, I urge you to support the vision of a Performing Arts Center at 201 Main St. as a key
driver to keep pushing Nashua forward towards a brighter future.
Thank you,
-Jamie Turbyne.
