Default Wolfeboro Dock Expansion

In Tuesday's voting, voters rejected a proposal to spend $300,000 to extend the Wolfeboro town boat docks.

The Warrant article called for an $850,000 bond for repairs and $300,000 for expansion. If the article had passed the middle four fingers would have been extended.

The Economic Development Council had estimated that adding 19 - 24 dock spaces would generate an additional $500,000 per year in spending in town. The council identified 125 businesses within walking distance of the docks that would stand to gain from adding docks.

Maybe in a different year this will pass. The number of boats circling and waiting for docking, especially on weekends, is obviously a negative for the environment.

This happens all over the lake in every town with docking. Maybe someone at a state level could get involved and push for adding to public docks in many locations. This would benefit the boating community as well as businesses in every town with public docks.
