Isn't that what Sarah Palin did when she was the mayor of Wasilla, Alaska in about 2005, before she ran for governor. For about $10-mil, she got the town to build an indoor ice arena and swim pool. If it was good for Alaska, then it should be good for Meredith, New Hampshire.

Or, if an athletic center is a no-go, then what about converting the former EFI property into the new Meredith Public Library?

Sure, if you don't mind having your taxes go up. Right now Meredith's taxes are reasonable. We don't need the town buying up property to run a business that will have trouble breaking even. While I'd love to see something like that in the area I don't trust the town to run a business like that. Leave that to independent investors.
