I don't know first hand but it's not hard to believe that the current facility is outdated and beyond renovation.
Still why do things like "office space for Marine Patrol (sworn/ civilian); secure booking area; storage facility; mechanics shop; ADA accessible boating education classrooms; boat registration and administration functions." need to be in a waterfront location?
Why not just leave the boat shop and docks there and build or buy a plain vanilla office building on cheap Gilford or Laconia land. Return that lake front land to the people of NH. Either sell it to the town, a private interest or develop it for recreational use.
