This is our opportunity as leaders of the community to assist these residents.

It's the one time the Board of Selectmen truly has an opportunity to assist the people of Norwood who make this town what it is -- who pay the bills.

For many people, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We are grateful to have so many business leaders that we count as friends. They are willing to give their personal time to this project, because they believe in our mission.

This committee is sick of swallowing the fact that there isn't enough money. We don't want to do that anymore.

This is not a wish list, as some would call it. This is a needs list.

Residents and community leaders are pleased that we are building a larger, more visible, higher-staffed facility.
