Does anyone know when the new Tuftonboro Neck tower for Verizon will go online? Verizon service to Cow Island has been horrible for years, and this should solve it, hopefully by ice-out!

The new Wolfeboro town docks have Ipe wood. In my mind it would be the gold standard for decking on a permanent dock, and will be at the top of my list when we need to do ours in a couple years. ...
