I’m a Gilford resident, and agree this structure does needs updating,. I’m in the belief of keeping renovations ‘basic’, we don’t need to build another ‘McMansion’ on the lake and have the taxpayers foot the bill.

Something to contemplate about this potential update and capital expenditure to the town and taxpayers…. I remember the ‘Big Dig’ in Boston was famous for cost over-rides, Its initial estimated cost was $2.56 billion, final cost was somewhere in the neighborhood of $14.8 billion. Initial cost estimates are just that, “Initial’, once the spigot is open, there’s no telling where it stops…..
