I do not want to see Lakeport Landing lose out on purchasing the property. I do think its vital for their business. They pay a ton of property taxes on their other properties. If they went under that would truly be a loss for Laconia & the Lake Winni community.

That being said, as a Laconia taxpayer, I think the city should get as close as possible to fair market value for the property purchase. I am not sure the assessed value is accurate. The city should have an appraisal done by an independent firm. Give Lakeport Landing the right of first refusal. If they decline... then let the games begin!
