"Local unemployment and bankruptcy levels a little on the high side for N.H.

From the back page of yesterday's LaDaSun, a short 5 paragraph report says "the rates of unemployment in both Belknap County and the city of Laconia are amoung the highest in he state." And, that does not count people like me who got canned from their truck driving job but do not apply for unemployment from the state.

"In December the unemployment rate in Belknap County was 4.9%, second only to the 6-percent in Coos County amoung
the ten counties."

Oh well, one cannot compare Belknap to Coos County, two very different ecomomies. About 12 doors up the road from my place, a large waterfront house is being built. The old house was demo-ed and a much larger one, all modulized, prefabricated construction, is going up fast, and has a setback of just 20' from the shoreline..............very nice looking house built by Flanders Construction, and Wallace Prefab from Danbury, NH. The old house had a fire about a year ago.

I thought the waterfront setback for Meredith was 65'. How they get around that?
