Downtown
Interesting blog,
Downtown Laconia has many issues, and your ideas are great, here's the one caveat!!
Where's the beef, we own a home on Pickerel Cove our road is private the road leading to it is city owned, it needs lots of work, the culverts are slowly failing, the road needs constant grading, and the city has no money.
Have you driven around the city, notice the perpetual signs that say beware of PotHoles???
Can't say your ideas aren't great, they sound great, but in the end who's the beneficiary, what does it buy for my tax dollars, a decent road to my street, not.
Yea, downtown Laconia needs love, perhaps private investors need to be found with a eye to the future. Downtown Laconia could be a interesting revitalization but I sure don't think with taxpayers money.
For your info, Laconia, Taxes collected on Lake Winnipesaukee, Paugus Bay, Opechee, and Lake Winnisquam, many seasonal homes, minimal burden on education system, taxed at high waterfront rates and view rates.
Where's the Beef??????????????????
