Board of Aldermen 12-11-2018 Page 3
| guess | add on a personal note that we have been working on this for 30 years. When | was Mayor in the
80’s, we had a group of people looking at how to bring a Performing Arts Center to Nashua. Now we
weren't able to put it together at that time, it has been in Master Plans in 2000 and | think the Master Plan
before that. It has been studied many times, we are finally on the verge after decades of getting this off the
ground and making a major change for the City of Nashua. Therefore, | would ask you to consider strongly
endorsing this amendment and voting this through tonight so that we can be on our way.
Finally Madam Chair, | am only going to briefly mention R-18-066 which we have discussed many times. |
don’t think this is a good idea because of the expenditure of tax payer funds that it will require, but there may
be another opportunity to discuss this later, again | am just echoing what | have told the Committee a couple
of times that | think the fairest thing to do here is to do nothing.
In any event, Madam Chair, that is all | have.
