Yes I live in the area.
No, there was no clear cutting done on over the 500 acres of development. Many retaining ponds were put in during the development and their were restrictions on the amount of pavement. There are no chain link fences in the development, and ugly cement retaining walls. If you go through the development, you will see lots of trees and wildlife. During the monsoon, there was some damage, however, being a private development the residents of this community did not get any handouts from the local, state or federal government to do the repairs.
Laconia ran out of money to fix the monsoon damage done at the Weirs during the last monsson. This is a certain indicator Loconia has no money to take on the maintenance of future infrastructure including the WOW trail. As one other person indicated people should focus on getting the Weirs to look half decent. And the bathrooms...now I know why the bacteria count raises so high. BTW Laconia residents drink that water!
