Request for Costs Missing from Proposed Nashua Performing Arts Center Project

Nashua performing arts center

Mr. Tim Cummings, It has come to my attention and the attention of many other residents that there will be a large amount of money that is not included in the initial Performing Arts Center bond to pay for all the exclusions.


We want to thank Laura Colquhoun for this Op-Ed. If you have an Op-Ed or LTE
you want us to consider, please submit it to skip@ or steve@granitegrok.com.


As you have stated, the exclusion listing will be purchased separately, however, you have not given an estimated price tag on all these separate items. You did supply Aldermen Lu with an additional cost of $2,300,000 however that figure only showed a few items and not all.

I am therefore requesting that you supply me with a complete listing of all exclusions with the estimated cost of each item (please see below). I realize that some of the items will be an income lost to the Nashua taxpayers while others be will a direct expense to Nashua taxpayers.  It is very important that the Nashua taxpayers see both the loss of income and the actual expenses that the taxpayers will have to pay.
