One question about the proposed development, which would add up to 1900 new housing units: what would attract the buyers to come to Laconia?
Certainly not the prospect of a good-paying job: there is little or no industry or other opportunities, unlike days gone by.
Lots of new residents buy lakefront as a second or third home, but the proposal is for mixed use, meaning mostly non-high end homes.
These new folks will need to work somewhere: where will that be?
*I may be out of touch having not visited for several years, but it seemed to me that Laconia was then in decline*
