The possible uses of the Lakes Region land formerly known as the site of the Laconia State School for the developmentally disabled has become a favorite topic...
Recently, the Laconia Daily Sun featured two letters. One, by Rep. Alida I. Millham of Gilford, notes that a NH Legislative Study Committee looked into the issue some years ago and found that, despite the property's great location, the real possibility of finding environmentally hazardous materials in the old buildings has made the land much less attractive to private parties. She suggests the land be purchased by the city (for about $2 million) from the state since the local government could then apply for federal funds to could pay for the cleanup.
The idea sounds good but what happens after that? Rep. Millham seems to imply that the property should stay in government hands.
Meanwhile, in another letter, Rep. Robert Greenmore of Meredith opposes selling the land to the city. "I have my doubts if the City of Laconia has the financial where-with-all or the tax base that the state has to do much with the property," he writes, "especially if you believe all the arguments against anyone wanting to buy the property because of all the problems (of possible) contamination."
Greenmore is among a group that, according to a recent Sun article, wants the state to hold onto the land until the real estate market improves.
As she usually does, Rep. Millham makes some excellent points.
And while Rep. Greenmore's letter is a little obscure, he's touched on an important issue as well.
What's most important is not how much money the state makes from the old school land now but how it factors into the Lakes Region's future.
We're glad to see representatives of other area towns getting actively involved in the debate.
