How are you going to pay it off with LOST revenue after the LOST levy ends?
In fact, the LOST levy does not have a "sunset". It is not set to expire, so Hampton may use the revenues for new projects that improve our community such as the Aquatic Center. The key to minimal tax impact is for you to vote "Yes" on August 4 on allocating the LOST revenues to the Aquatic Center.
I've hear that there's a soil contamination problem with the Aquatic Center site. What about that?
It's just not true - there is not contamination where the Aquatic Center will be located.
Doesn't it make more sense to put the Aquatic Center next to the Franklin Wellness Center? In fact, didn't the city miss a chance to do just that?
Well, that's water under the bridge. Yes, at one time there was discussion of placing an aquatic center near the Wellness Center. It didn't come about. The site of the current pool has all of the infrastructure needed for the Aquatic Center. The bottom line on this issue is: Do we let old grudges prevent us from coming together to make a significant improvement to Hampton? The answer to that is up to us. Are we willing to work together for the benefit of the community?
