Thankyou TiltonBB for some background on the new investor.
It makes the interest in the Weirs seem more like a personal gain scenario and not a revitalization. That pier with the restaurant and views, imo is where most people migrate to during a visit to the area. It's occupied every time I walk through, but I visit during summer weekends, so I can't vouch for year round.
Forgive my negativity, but what a shame to take the areas remaining attraction and convert into something people will only visit when they are in the market for their boating need. I hope I am misunderstanding the whole intent of what is being proposed here.
The weirs beach areas fate may be sealed.
I will hope for the best and hope to see community enhancing improvements commence.
Some great ideas by the way!
Edit: PS. What I mean by fate being sealed, is simply the visitor 'enjoyment' or touristy type attraction of the area may be going the way of commercial business. The strip may evolve into a shopping area vs. a destination on the lake to spend fun time. This is simply a thought and not any way a fore sight regarding the area. Let's hope a fine balance makes it all work.
