Who Controls the Lake

The State has jurisdiction over construction within the lake itself. While there are some state regulations that cover building on the adjacent lands, towns currently have the right to make their own stricter rules on development. I say currently because it seems that is changing as there are multiple bills at the legislature this session that either put limits on, or repeal, local authority to regulate development.
