Well, in a way they are contributing. The people on boats go into town and buy things and that enables the businesses to survive, pay their taxes, and employ people who pay their taxes. I know many of the employees are local residents.
If you took away the summer boater business income from the many small stores in Wolfeboro I am sure they would struggle. Like most of the lake oriented businesses, they depend on the 8 to 10 week summer season to make it through the year.
