I don't think Laconia should even try to compete with Meredith or Wolfeboro. Its pretty much impossible given the R.E. makeup of the Weirs.
The Weirs should be a destination that is different.. just like it has always been. The Pier, The Dive, The Mount, The Tiki Boats, The RR, Tower Hill, Gringo, Compass, Big House, Akwa and all the others all bring something a little different to the table.
It will not be that hard to make the Weirs grow a destination spot... reconfigure the boat docks, better parking options, get the owners of the Arcade to invest some real $$$ in their buildings. You could have a really cool vibe at the Weirs with just a little effort between the city and the business owners.
