Why I don't live in Moultonborough or have a stake in this proposal, it only took me about 20 seconds to find a story clarifying this proposal.
Apparently this is not a done deal or an idea foisted upon the town by the "town fathers". Rather it was an idea expressed by a citizen's committee, a committe who's chair resigned after receiving heavy criticism of the proposal, in particular its estimated price tag.
While a project of this magnitude for a community with a tax base the size of the town in question is cause for concern & serious review, this proposal is nothing more than that...and idea expressed by a sub committee of citizens formed to review and

suggest ideas concerning Moultonborough's recreational opportunities.
A story in the Citizen explaining more can be read
