I think you all are making too much out of one initial "rendering".

The point is that someone is actually trying to be proactive and seeking other business' to join in to put together a (keyword) "Year Round" retail facility with hopefully restaurant.

Isn't this how the Mill's Falls redevelopment essentially started! That, if I am not mistaken, was a five year program with the Town of Meredith fully behind them.

The Weirs area, unfortunately, is an eyesore these past few years. Long gone is the need for cheesy arcades in this day of electronic games and the entire area is nothing more than one giant vacant lot.

I have long said that a program similar -- does not have to replicate Mill's Fall -- would be AWESOME for the area. A group of year round shops, a few restaurants (Faro is a GREAT start) and I truly think you need accommodations -- maybe not a Hilton -- but perhaps a Residence inn or other suite type hotel would be phenomenal.

Laconia missed the boat when they lost the Marriot (now on 11A) to Gilford !


Just my two cents as a long time "visitor" and now owner in the area


I now sit back and await the barrage from the vocal few ..... while knowing the majority of readers agree.
