I expect most of the land is in "current use" so upon taking parcels out of current use, the town will get a substantial bonus in "land use change tax". Of course a developer could phase that, but the spenders will be developing plans for a new senior center with indoor/outdoor pools, twice the size of the Hub in Moultonborough.
Saving some waterfront for community use, you could still build, say, 40 waterfront homes. That assesses out for $100MM, plus whatever for another 160 homes in the woods at $500K each, is another $80MM in tax base.
Does Meredith have shorefrontage vs inland development zoning restrictions similar to Gilford where you need 150' of shorefront per residence? How many feet/far back does that go?
