This maybe seems like a happy ending to the saga of the M-cycle M-zeum vs the funeral homes crematorium smokestack next door?
From memory:
Before the M-cycle M-zeum purchased the 5-acres and big barn building in 2010, it was a famous antiques bazaar, open from May 1 - Oct 30.
In 2010, the Meredith zoning board approved the funeral home request for a crematory oven as an accessory use with no public hearing, and all zoning board members voting yes.
In 2015 the M-zeum sued the funeral home over the smelly fumes?
In 2016 the Meredith Zoning Board cited the M-zeum for storing boats, and the M-zeum sued the town, winning its case in Belknap court, and boats continue to be stored in the large side lot, all wrapped up in very neat looking white covers on the large lot, down below the road.
The unhappy neighbor woman, a retired registered nurse, who built a lot of protest signs and statues on her front yard, protesting the smelly crematorium directly across the road from her single family house, has unfortunately passed away, never to benefit by breathing any untainted local air what with the removal of the crematorium. You can be danged sure that she did not use the services of that funeral home!
So's, considering the funeral home basically won its lawsuit in court, what prompted it to move its crematory away to a remote location despite getting the big green light from the town zoning board, and the Belknap court? If it was such an "appropriate use" ....... it did not have to move away, but apparently it has?
So, a beer hospitality biz with the big Massachusetts money is buying the property with the resources to make it happen sure seems like a happy ending just because it does .....and everything goes better with a quality beer brew ....... not that mass market yellow stuff.
Here's a cheer for drinking that great quality beer ..... and three big cheers for that big Massachusetts money that wants to flow into Meredith, NH ...... you will like it here ...... there's never-ever a traffic jam! ......
