I guess I would have to echo the question raised by dpg and ask who currently owns the property and (assuming it is not LRCT) where are they in this endeavor?
It's been years snce I've been to CITC and when I did go (as a 20 something) it was in need of work then.
As for "out of staters" coming in to tell Lakes Region folks what is best, I don't think that would be the case. Nearly everyone I know belly aches about the development of Winni of the past few decades.
If CITC is privately owned then they need to bail themselves out. If it's privately owned and they get LRCT money they need to deed the appropriate amount of equity in the property over to LRCT.
It doesn't appear to me to be a black and white issue. Teddy Roosevelt was a "frequent" quest there (at least according to the tour guides 20+ years ago), perhaps Federal National Park dollars would be available, but again, only if private owners gave up their rights.
Given the cost of RE in the Lakes Region these days, I don't see a privately owned company "giving it away".
Just the $.02 from an "Out of stater" who is a NATVTP "Not Allowed To Vote Tax Payer" in Gilford.
