As in most things it is easy to be critical.

There are a few owners with property investments in Weirs Beach that have existed and done well for many years. The city of Laconia would face a significant challenge if they tried to make any changes that would impact those property owners.

It would be nice to have Laconia look like Meredith but how do you make that happen? Who would want to invest in the modernization and cleanng up of the Weirs Beach area if every eyesore in the area was not removed? How do you get the income from 12 weeks to support 52 weeks of debt? Many tourists, summer people, boaters and vacationers are here for the summer season and have no idea how much this area turns into a ghost town for 9 months of the year.

If you have really great ideas about how you can support the investment required for significant change that will make sense with the short season we have I am sure that the Laconia Planning Department would love to hear from you.

So, don't complain, offer your solution!
