FLL.....exactly my point. White Mountain Athletic Club is a stand alone CORPORATION....not a taxpayer funded monstrosity with numerous athletic venues. And looking at the Dun and Bradstreet on it, they apparently have 10+ employees. If there is such a strong "want", then get folks together and build it. Your point that no other town in the area has an Aquatics Center is proof that the local Moultonborough perceived "need" is really a "want". Otherwise the "need" would have happened in other Lakes Region towns. I'll be darned if my tax money will be used to build a pool and gym so that people from all around the lakes region can use it on my dime to build and operate it. Time to invoke "Pay to Play"......if some want it, PAY for it. That's what happened at Waterville Valley and that is what should happen in Moultonborough. Worried about cold lake water.... buy a HOT TUB !
