The Alton laundromat is up for sale as a commercial property including the inventory for $449,900. I wonder if a buyer would be allowed to re-open the laundromat with the present septic system as it is surely needed. It's just a shame that people have to travel to Gilford or Pittsfield to find the nearest laundromat!
Since Mr. Bahre lobbied for and finally got a Hannaford's (including a pharmacy) in Alton, I wish he also saw the need for a laundromat. For those with their own washers and dryers the need for a laundry is not a priority. For all those of us who rent/lease it is a necessity. If the old laundry site has septic problems, perhaps a new site near the Hannafords and the future medical clinic would be possible. Alton has 3 hardware stores, beauty parlors, florists and banks, but no laundry. I keep hearing that no one has any money these days so why 3 banks? We all have dirty clothes.
