More than 3,400 people filled out the online survey in a town of 28,000. Ideas and wishes for the center included everything from a pool to an ice rink, but most importantly, they wanted a place for all ages, reported the News-Times.
The Community Center Commission will meet Wednesday, Nov. 18 at the Newtown Municipal Center to discuss survey results and decide what steps to take before making their recommendation to the Board of Selectmen, added the News-Times.
