This relates to Think's general point--their business plan requires a public dock space. In other words, they need a public subsidy to make ends meet--if they have to pay the full price for their own dock, they cannot make ends meet.
And if you accept the above--then The Dive does not pass the "litmus test" of being a viable business that covers its own costs, at least at The Weirs.

I disagree. Yes it probably was too expensive but they have adjusted their plan and have been very busy this season with less overhead. Instead of building an expensive addition to a public dock that they only had a 3 year lease on they now just rent a mooring slip on Paugus. FYI the investment probably would have worked if they received the original 10 year lease they were seeking.
