What's Going On?!

Here's one positive local Laconia public stimulis that was built in September-October-November of 2009, funded in large part with about $900,000 of a U.S. federal stimulis grant; the very first 9/10's mile of the W.O.W. Trail that runs along next to the old railroad track from just behind the Laconia Library, www.laconialibrary.org, to just across the street from Lake Opeechee.

The money, the $900,000 federal money, made a great big difference in getting it built. In the construction biz, the money really matters, it is what makes the construction happen!

Just by reading the local LaDaSun, one reads about various on-going public W.O.W. Trail projects and community gatherings that include clean-ups of vacant lots, large mural painting of a steam locomotive, granite benches, and mini-parks that are all public enhancements.

If and when the remaining eight miles of the WOW Trail walking-bicycle-10' wide paved asphalt, waterfront walkway gets all built out from Lake Winnisquam in Belmont to Laconia to Lake Opeechee to Paugus Bay (Lake Winnipesaukee) to Weirs Beach to Meredith Bay (Lake Winnipesaukee) to Meredith it will become one more reason for tourists to come visit the area, as well as for locals to go pedal the trail.

Basically, the Weirs Beach area down by the lakefront, is pretty much of an uninhabited, unused, and economically dead area from just after Labor Day through till Memorial Day. The W.O.W. Trail should definately help to change that because the trail should get built right down and across through the Weirs-waterfront area. That will give people a very good reason to be going there from say March thru November, or so. It is potentially a beautifull lakeside, commercial BUSINESS-TOURIST area that is now deserted for about nine months per year.

If John McCain had won the president's race in November 2008, and not Barack Obama, would the 9/10 first W.O.W. Trail mile have received the stimulis $900,000? What do you think?
