Lakes Region Shopping Plaza??

Lake Lady 6 · 12-21-2006, 08:00 PM

Will there just be a Lowe's and Papa Gino's Pizza in the plaza? The original plan mentioned Hannaford's and maybe one or two others. Driving by it looks like there is not room left for many more buildings. Perhaps one could get a better perspective by driving through the parking lot. The return on the investment must warrant more real estate.

On January 20, the new Lowes in Gilford will be open to customers and a grand opening will be held on Jan 25. To read the company press release, try googling Lowe's Gilford NH. At a cost of 18.5 million, with 175 employees, and over two acres retail floor space and about another one acre garden center, that's probably one of the bigger stores for Gilford.

Hey, after hearing about the Home Depot boss-man getting a 210 million dollar goodbye handshake, I'm taking my mega-purchasing power over to this new Lowes. Am I jealous.........you bet! Maybe he'll want to spend just a little bit on one of the two unsold four to five million dollar waterfront homes in Gilford at Dockham Shore and Governor's Island. 4 1/2 millon bucks and they get no afternoon sunshine......what-a-deal.....makes me feel good every time I put-put past their 'for sale' signs. No wonder no one will buy them.

Anyway, Gilford is becoming quite the shopping mecca; Wal-Mart, Lowe's and the nearby St Vincent dePaul store in Laconia.

Question of the day: The airport is, in fact, located in Gilford, so why is it called the Laconia Airport?

FLL Perhaps the reason for the name is that on occasion one must pilot one's airplane over Laconia on approach to the runway. I think it would better serve the area if it were renamed "The Lakes Region Laconia-Gilford Regional Ronald Reagan Airport"...

How about the Merto-Lakes Region International Airport? Gives it that worldly flair.

About the Airport FLL, Compliments to the Weirs Times;

The first Laconia Airport, which was located between the Avid building and the Belknap County complex, (Laconia) was in use from 1935 until 1941.
