...... saving five!
....and don't forget ...... by going to the walk-in window at the new MP-Hdqtrs in Gilford ......you save five dollars off on your annual boat registration fee as opposed to what you pay at your local marina, or local town hall ...because there's no local service charge at the Marine Patrol. I believe the lowest price for an annual boat registration ....... say, for a 12' sailboat without a motor, is $39 ...... so it would cost $39, as opposed to $44 at a local marina, or local town hall, and the entire $39 goes to the Marine Patrol without getting split with the local town.
http://www.laconiadailysun.com/newsx...rine-patrol-hq Plus, you get to see what this new 10.7-million dollar Marine Patrol Hdqtrs will look like! Or, try googling: "A night on Winnipesaukee with the Marine Patrol" .... Concord Monitor; July 21, 2013.

Left Out
Less, you forgot to mention that the wear and tear and gasoline in your car driving to register your boat would exceed the $5 savings. Perhaps you should have mentioned that in order to enjoy 100% of the savings you would need to walk to Marine Patrol HQ to register your boat.
Maybe WalMart will put in a discount boat registration counter! PS. There are no sidewalks on Route 11. |

..... the wind is free!
Ok ....... well, how about getting there to the MP-HQ to re-register my boats, saving $5/boat off the local price ..... and getting there on my C&L Echo, an 11'11" sailboat, not including the rudder .....it does not need to get registered ...... and the wind is free.....and more likely to be windy now...thanks to the global warming!

Where does my money go?
I like that when I register with a matina or town, the town gets some money to maintain public docks, fireboats, launch ramps, etc.

I can't wait until . . .
it's done. 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and even some nights and Saturday's are already getting old. With the amount of aggregate and huge rock removal that's been done, I'd be surprised if it was really 'sinking'.
And how much are they paying (1) person to collect fees that can be done elsewhere? My apologies, I forgot it's about job creation.

The Marine Patrol has only approved three days outside of a typical workweek for the project since its start. The Friday after Thanksgiving which is not a day off for many, and two Saturdays for the placement of concrete forms (no heavy construction equipment except form trucks). On two occasions heavy equipment excavators and a crane were delivered on a Saturday but no construction activity was allowed. To the best of my knowledge, aside from water pumps running after hours, no construction activity has gone beyond allowable hours. FYI, Marine Patrol must approve construction work outside of normal hours. The Marine Patrol and its Construction Manager, Harvey Construction, have made it clear to our neighbors, island residents, and the Town of Gilford, we intend to have as little impact on them as possible during this project. We have had regular communication with those concerned, monitored dust and debris around vehicles and boats, and maintained safe access to town property. However, from your post it sounds like we are not hearing from everyone. If you have experienced construction at night or anything beyond what was described above, I would appreciate hearing from you. 603-293-2037. Thank you! Safe Boating!!

We were taking a look today after lunch at the Lyon's Den just as Capt Dunleavy arrived to take a look himself. He took the time to give us an update and said to call him should we ever have any questions. Last summer he gave the Gilford Island Assoc a detailed briefing on the project which was much appreciated.
Looks like the concrete work is done including the deep footings/walls for the waterfront and covered docking. Steel work to start in about 3 weeks. |

What happen to Altons F&G boat ramp
The purchase of the Downing boat ramp and renovation must be being postponed for a good length of time do to construction of the other new facility. How correct am I???

Different Departments
Respectfully you are not correct at all. The Fish & Game Dept. purchased Downing's Landing and will some day renovate I'm sure. Keep in mind that project will be funded by the $5 "public access" portion of your POWER boat registration fees along with some federal funds. Because the primary project on the public access agenda is the state launch on Lake Sunapee...I don't see a lot happening in Alton too soon. Although it may not be complete, Alton is serving the public in its current state.
The Marine Patrol project falls under the Dept. of Safety. It is a capital budget project with bond payments coming from Marine Patrol's operating budget. Different agencies, budgets, and funding. |

Well, someone is lying to you. Yes, two (I recall three) Saturday's construction was happening. I live directly across the way, I don't imagine these things. Maybe next time I will record it.
And the Friday after Thanksgiving is not a day off for many? This is why all our seasonal neighbors were up that weekend. And in the 30 years I have been in the corporate world, Friday's usually are. Urinating into the wind here, so have a great day! And enjoy your new office. p.s. Is that annoying blue strobe going to be a constant? Quote:

I believe that is just the winter Bob House monitoring station. The full Administration building which is six times that size will be started in a few weeks with the closing of 28A until June of 2017.

This is pathetic
Everyone is offering opinions on the Design of the building. HOW About the COST of the building..?? The town OR the state already owns the land.
THAT building in my opinion is maybe..maybe..... a ONE Million dollar building. I think someone mentioned it cost 11 Million. WHAT Am am I missing. NB |

...... local zoning rules
The new MP building is a super-duper design for what it is, a state government home and headquarters for the MP.
What is not so nice is the helter skelter layout of the property lots in the immediate area. For this mish mash mess of 'no town planning' the reason is there were basically no ZONING rules in Gilford until approximately 1985. Zoning rules did not exist here until it was too late, and the results are there to see. Zoning turned out to be a solution, and not a problem, except it came too late to Gilford.

It will be the Marine Patrol operational HQ for the state. Also the main facility for MP boats maintenance and storage. And will have classrooms for boating certificates. Don't know if they will still have some admin down on Rt 106.

Allegedly the Rte 106 office is closing...
When I stopped in to get the boat reg and the mooring permit a couple weeks ago, I said to the lady, "see you next year", as I was leaving. She replied, "you won't see us here...this office is closing and going to the new building"

...... the five dollar window!
Such a useful design ........ will be in use for a hundred years or longer..... hey ...... maybe they can name the walk-in service window the 'five dollar window' because it saves you five dollars off your boat registration fee from what you pay at your town clerk or local marina?

Grand opening
I understand the ribbon cutting/dedication is Tuesday, Nov 29. Glendale will bed swarming with State Police, locals and County. Drive carefully. The car you cut off may be a cop. Or worse, a reporter, and you'll be on the PM news.
Nevertheless, this honorarium to Safety Services Director Dave Barrett has been a long time coming. It will serve all of the Lakes Region, and it will benefit us as well as the MP. We should all be proud of our law enforcement folks. BZ. Fly the BZ flags on Tuesday, Nov. 29. |

See Post #104
It was posted here on 11/18. (#104 "Grand Opening") I'd guess there were 100 people there. Gov. Hassan spoke, but I don't know if her schedule is publicly broadcast for security purposes.
