However, commercial property owners are not entitled to use the Gilford Beach or the Glendale launch ramp, so what’s the benefit to me and the hundreds of other commercial property owners in Gilford that contribute to these projects?
People who own Gilford waterfront homes have little or no use for the beach and pay a lot of taxes too.

For 20 plus years I owned a slip at Mountain View Yacht Club, paid taxes to the town, and my understanding was that we could not use the Gilford beach or the recycle center. I was never offered or issued a town sticker.
