No sympathy from this camp.

I cant speak to New Durham, but perhaps you should do some research before discussing tax bases and sympathy for Moultonborough residents. Our tax base is extremely high due in large part to having the most waterfront of any community in NH. Because of that our taxes are low, extremely so, compared to our neighbors in Meredith and Wolfeboro.
The town is trying to be somewhat forward thinking in addressing a contraction in school age children. My daughter will graduate this year from Moultonborough Academy and my son already has so I will have no real skin in the school game, however, I will support the current two school building system.
You don't just "get a tax base", you develop one. We live in a tourist area in a tourism driven state. We have avoided big box stores and the like for now, but if that is your idea of a tax base, you can keep it! We have some great businesses in town like Cru-Con and would welcome some more clean businesses.
Money is not an issue in Moultonborough.
