I would have really like to see the town buy or make some arrangements with the Ames family, similar to the ones made with other farm owners in GIlford. The farm would be the last major piece of lake front in the town, and instead of a useless pond we would have been far better off to arrange with the Ames family to preserve the land and the site for the use of the town. Let the family continure to occupy the site, but convert the site to use of Gilford residents only. Additonal Beach and launching facility would take the pressure of the current town beach and ramp.

Although some would have little to say about the permitting process on the lake I will share my expereinces in maintaining my breakwater. It costs me thousands in fees, and permits to maintain the rocks every few years.
