weirs beach water slide development

The problem with the Weirs is... well the Weirs!

I welcome any and all new development proposals. If you like the design or not, at least its a starting point for a conversation.

You have owners like the Mike & Rich (Faro), Michelle (Looney Bin) Rusty (AlpenRose Plaza), Brett & Krista (Paradise), Anthony (Tower Hill Tavern) and Bob (Crazy Gringo) that take a lot of pride in their establishments and property.

Then there are others like the Baldi's... The Drive In is AWESOME and everything possible should be done to preserve it. But they also own that EYESORE of a lot that the Saloon sat on... that they are trying to sell for 1.8 MILLION (ya right!)

The Ames family aren't any better than the Baldis.... they haven't improved their properties at all... and have absolutely no desire to either! But I am sure they love the unreported cash from those arcade machines!

The City of Laconia doesn't treat the Weirs any better.... They are happy to take the tax $$ for those lakeside properties, but spending money on infrastructure very rarely occurs.

The City has done its best to kill off Bike Week.. the one profitable week the Weirs has. They overload the area with Police, and generally make it very unfriendly. Then wonder why the $$ don't show up in the city coffers.

Overall the Weirs needs a master plan.... one with vision and a look towards a sustainable future! I say BRING IT ON!
