It will probably cost as much to demo the church as was the cost of the property. ($185K). I don't know how many lots will be able to be carved out but any homes that are built will have to at least meet any local building codes. Before we bash this project in advance, I think it would make sense to inquire as to exactly what is being proposed to be built. Wouldn't that information be available from the City of Laconia?
