...that totally stinks...what a loser decision by the FAA....booo on the Federal Aviation Administration administrator(s) who made that decision....does this area ever need a boost from people visiting off-season to go skydiving! ...not a happy decision for Laconia-Gilford-Lake Winnipesaukee and area....talk about a genuine stimulus with some lasting revenue stream that would have powered up existing restaurants-hotels-stores & employee residents...not going to happen...

Did you know that Laconia, the county seat for Belknap County, and as of December 31, 2009, Belknap County has an unemployment rate of 7.5% which makes it the second most unemployed of all eleven counties in the state. Only Coos County, way up north, which is totally dead at 9.4%, is worse off.

"I think it will remain in the mid-7 percent range, maybe even approach 8 percent, as we go through 2010"
