Change is going to happen... I don't agree that it needs to look just like Meredith, to fit in... I am sure that once interest is developed, and plans are brought further along, the design and image will change. This preliminary drawing, is just that a preliminary drawing, to show concept of how a building might be situated on the lot.

I personally have found the development in Meredith to over the top... Yes they went for a look, and they nailed, it but it was to much for the area.... Meredith now has an infrastructure problem that has made traffic a mess during the height of the season. Now back on track.....

At this point I could care less about how the building looks, I want to see a successful venture..That helps lift up the area. The first key to that would be a good Restaurant, but that alone will not do the trick... Meredith is thriving because of year around accommodations. Hotels, interesting retailers, restaurants etc. In order for the Weirs to thrive, more then just this one venture needs to look into being open year around... Laconia, needs to re-invent the Weirs not just as a summer play ground, but a year around destination. This means bring in a Hotel, that will operate year around, and create attractions that will draw people to the area year around... Shopping is not that attraction... to many other places more convenient to get too...The Weirs doesn't need to become another Meredith... It needs to create its own identity.
