Would not even need to be bonded. Facility is on TOWN SEWER, has a generator, parking, etc. etc. No septic issues ever. But there is such polarization in this town that NOBODY knows how to compromise. Must be that they were in DC and learned how not to get anything done. So instead fo fixing things for the folks in town, we'll continue to piss and moan at Town Meeting and if anything NEW that gets approved...not likely...is probably 5 years off. All the parents who want stuff for their kids will have the kids in college before the town does anything. And the Lions Club will continue to rot. Stupid.......but that is Moultonborough today. Reasonable people would be working TOGETHER on this. But no, all they want to do is complain
that they are not getting their way.

The people who want to spend the big bucks don’t want to hear anything about the Keepsake building. To many of us, those who will be footing the bill for a large %age of this building, have suggested it as a viable option, and a fabulous compromise. The school/rec. center/ new gym people want the $ 7 million extravaganza on the Taylor property adjoining the school.
With this attitude, they may be buildingless forever, and that’s fine with me.
