When re-energizing downtown, entertainment can be the engine | Local News

September 4, 2021 by NREB Staff

Before guests attend the Christine Hurley & Friends Comedy Night at the Lakeport Opera House on Saturday night, you can be sure that some will enjoy a drink or dinner at Fratello’s or O Steaks & Seafood. Maybe others stopped by Chaos & Kindness to see it all, or grabbed a cup of coffee at Aroma Joe’s to cheer them up for the performance.

The same thing will happen this fall and winter in Laconia at the Colonial Theater. People will come to a performance of Our Town or A Christmas Carol, and they will get a hot drink at Wayfarer Coffee Roasters, a beer at Defiant Records & Craft Beer, or a bite to eat at Koung Sushi Mart.

This is how a complex and diverse entertainment industry works for a community. It doesn’t just make you happy for a few hours. It is boosting economies in the cities and towns as they strive to develop venues and create more opportunities for tourism.

This engine is now running hot in the lake region.

For the first time in 60 years, the renovated Lakeport Opera House welcomed more than 5,000 guests to 30 shows this summer, thanks to developer Scott Everett. Chaos & Kindness welcomed visitors to its flagship store in Laconia, offered a cash prize of $ 10,000 on a New Hampshire scavenger hunt, and this year opened the CAKE Theater in Veterans Square. And Spectacle Management opened the doors to the renovated Colonial Theater Laconia, and a slew of shows are planned for the spring.

These opportunities, combined with new restaurants and real estate, add to the core of what has been around for many decades at Weirs Beach, The Belknap Mill, and Winnipesaukee Playhouse, to name a few.

“Laconia is set to become one of the premier entertainment destinations in New Hampshire,” said Brandon Caron, director of strategy and business development for Spectacle Management, which co-manages the Colonial with the City of Laconia.

Tim-James Everett, director of the Opera House and brother of owner / developer Scott Everett of Paugus Properties, said, “All of this is mutually nurturing, dynamic, and trusting for other companies to invest in Laconia and to inspire consumers to be here, which of course leads to the economic development of the city.

“As they say,” he adds, “the tides raise all boats.”

This tide began to lift the area’s boats in 1914 when James “Jim” Irwin hopped off a train at Weirs Beach with a trumpet case and a lot of courage. By 1925, Irwin had turned a band gig into the possession of Winnipesaukee Gardens, a popular dance venue on Weirs Beach in the big band era.

Irwin is credited with making The Weirs a vacation spot; With Irwin Marine, the marina he founded, which has grown into a multi-location, family-owned giant, he helped introduce Laconia to boat visitors.

Today, many other courageous developers are building on what Irwin began decades ago with innovative ideas, generous investments – and in some cases a long association with the region.

The Everetts grew up in Gilford, and Justin Spencer of downtown Lakeport rock group Recycled Percussion and founder of Chaos & Kindness was born at Laconia Hospital, now known as Concord Hospital-Laconia.

Follow the example of other regions

Laconia wasn’t the first in the region’s redevelopment game.

Meredith’s rebirth was spearheaded by Rusty McLear, a serial entrepreneur who moved to the area in 1971 and started his huge business by offering to switch to any job at a new hotel to learn the business.

In 2019, after spending 36 years building, owning and operating hotels, restaurants and businesses that changed the face of Meredith, McClear sold Hampshire Hospitality Holdings to TPG Hotels & Resorts in Rhode Island. The sale comprised properties that were major regional draws including Church Landing, Inn at Mill Falls, Bay Point at Mill Falls, Chase House, and Mill Falls Marketplace, and had a total value of approximately $ 25 million.

At Concord, Steve Duprey, the owner of the Duprey Companies, which offers restaurant development and management, was a mover and a doer. “I started agitating in 1985 that Concord had to update Main Street,” says Duprey.

When the Capitol Center for the Arts was rejuvenated in the early 1990s, Duprey pleaded for Congressional funding. He then built an office building across the street from the venue to house the League of NH Craftsmen, the New Hampshire Furniture Masters, the Greater Concord Chamber of Commerce, and the Concord Hospital administrative offices.

After developing the Smile and Love Your Neighbor buildings, which is where Gibson’s Bookstore is located, Duprey went deeply into grants and led Concord through a large project to make downtown more welcoming to visitors.

Trees were planted. Historical posters were put up. Lighting has been improved. Colorful flags and banners were blowing, and Duprey said while biased he thinks the project has produced fabulous results.

“People love our inner city. It has become the main meeting place in Concord, ”he said. “A lot of renovation work was still carried out. Market price housing in the city center has been added, and there will be more to come. There is a lot going on. More people. More economic activity, and we just want to build on that. “

Building on that in Laconia

Brandon Caron of Spectacle Management said he has seen tangible economic growth and a big boost in confidence in the future of the region’s development opportunities since the Colonial restoration was announced.

He pointed to recent residential real estate and new small business investments, including Defiant Records & Craft Beer on Colonial Block, Trillium Farm to Table, Koung Sushi Mart, and Piedmont Print & Frame. Wayfarer Roasters has also expanded, and companies like Fresh Takes Deli have moved to Laconia.

“Some local businesses and craftsmen were also involved in the renovation,” said Caron. “As the colonial event grows and the downtown business district expands, the economy and liveliness of Laconia will grow too.

“The diverse calendar of events will re-introduce residents to the bustling downtown business district and attract tourists across the region,” he added, noting that Spectacle is also creating jobs and hiring local residents.

As Spectacle Management and the Everetts feel the relief of the first few seasons that have exceeded their expectations, they are also in the process of planning the next steps.

After leveling ramshackle storefronts on Elm Street this spring, Scott Everett is building five to ten storefronts on the first floor in the same area, with about a dozen condos or apartments above it. Because of all the moving parts in the construction industry and the national supply chain, he cannot yet commit to an opening date, “but construction is active and we are pushing as hard as possible,” he says.

He is also not at liberty to announce the names of the stores that will house the new development house. “They will be high quality, diverse, and generate a lot of foot traffic and general activity in Lakeport,” said Everett.

Over the winter, Everett expects to announce plans for a building adjacent to the Elm Street Project. “The momentum is moving, and like a snowball going down a hill, it just picks up speed from here,” he says.

Even in winter, when the Opera House is closed, the Everetts will upgrade the venue as they prepare for the line-up to start for Spring and Summer 2022.

Meredith’s McLear said the restoration works in Laconia and Lakeport were life changing for the community. “This is a really big leap forward for their future,” he said, noting that there are projects he can’t talk about yet that have the potential to be equally meaningful.

Concord’s Duprey said he thinks leaders and developers in Laconia are on the right track.

“It’s a good start. It’s a consistent effort, ”he says. “To this day, many churches will be running a project and pulling back and saying, ‘We’re done.’ You can not. You have to keep updating and updating. “

Duprey adds that not every idea or innovation will work. “There will be some ideas that fail. And some naysayers. I keep telling people, ‘This is not the New Hampshire way.’ We keep trying things and if it doesn’t work we try something else. It takes perseverance and conversation. It made a huge difference in Concord – it’s the quality of life that attracts people to live in Concord. We still have a lot of work to do, but we will make it, and Laconia can do it too. “

WATCH NOW: Community celebrates Ortiz family moving into new home | Local

September 3, 2021 by NREB Staff

Finding a home of your own can be a challenge, but along the way, Maria found a friendship through Habitat for Humanity from Columbus board member Miki Naylor.

Naylor – who serves on the Family Support Committee – said Maria had never had to own a house so she wasn’t aware of things like taking out a mortgage, getting home insurance, choosing colors and countertops. Naylor was the one who helped Maria in this process that cemented their friendship.

“She is a beautiful soul,” said Naylor. “… I was looking forward to this day. I could only imagine what she was feeling. I know she will sleep well in her new home. I’m so happy for her and Moises. “

The Ortiz family also received support from the Habitat for Humanity Campus Committee, a student body made up of students from Columbus High School, Scotus Central Catholic, Lakeview Community School, and Central City’s Nebraska Christian School.

Last week the committee helped set up the Ortiz House. The teenagers supplied furniture, including a special bed and desk for Moises. They also built the bed – which was supposed to be a lower level for Moises – and a desk wide enough to accommodate his wheelchair. The committee had also provided Moises with superhero decorations.

‘A lot of work to do’ – Comp Plan review begins | News

July 27, 2021 by NREB Staff

Maloney organized his presentation into chapters, each addressing a separate topic or area of ​​interest.

Speaking of growth management, Maloney said it was imperative to measure current demographic and housing trends and development patterns.

An important part of this equation is the definition of rural areas “in the context of community expectations”.

This update of key trends is supported by the results of the Census Bureau 2020 available in September.

Maloney said the plan is tailored to the needs of the county’s residents and will rely on housing trends and patterns, as well as other demographics, to determine land use adjustments and other elements of the plan.

“If our plan doesn’t clearly show our demographics, what are we really planning for,” Maloney asked.

In order to initiate a workable plan that clearly defines expectations for the 80 percent of the county that is considered rural, rural and agricultural policies and standards for cluster development and AR must be updated, Maloney said.

“We’re going to dig really deep and make sure our zoning ordinances are in line with guidelines and meet the intent of our comprehensive plan,” Maloney said.

The updated plan should also include expanded guidelines for agriculture and agrotourism, according to Maloney. The guidelines regarding solar systems and their placement as requests for these uses continue to grow.

If trees and houses could talk: Oakwood’s history | History

July 24, 2021 by NREB Staff

Four historic oak trees surround a two-story timber-framed house at 3520 Hamilton Street in the Oakwood neighborhood of Hannibal, Missouri. If these trees could talk somehow, they could provide insight into the development of this area, which boasts the rich history of Texas, cattle trains, devastating fires, tram lines, fall festivals, plank streets, limestone mining, general store, church building and housing development.

The wrap-around porch, two meters above the surrounding land, would offer an additional perspective of the people – young and old – who once gathered there, enjoyed the summer breeze and talked until dark while children played underfoot.

Now owned by Colin Welch (Hannibal’s Fifth Ward Councilor), the building itself offers references to its own heritage, including an interior staircase made from native wood; a foundation made of local stone; the original and now restored front door, the reference to two additions to the structure during its long history, and the wooden floor, recently sanded and stained, original to the house. A now filled cistern reminds that the house remained outside the city limits and the available water supply long after the annexation of neighboring districts.

Which prophesies that this house, which he is slowly bringing back to life, will be his home forever, which he will give to his children and in turn to their children. But at the moment work is progressing with the availability of his free time.

By the time Welch bought the property, the front yard was overgrown with bushes and trees, which practically hid the house from the view of the street. He removed the paintbrush and revealed to the neighborhood the stately home he believes was built in the 1870s. Now he’s adding a road boundary to the property’s connection to Hamilton Street to upgrade the property.

The land the house stands on is the southwest corner of Lot 2, in historic Darr’s Addition. William Darr was a very early settler in the area, and after his death in 1855 the land was divided into 24 parcels. Darr’s land consisted of lots in Counties Marion and Ralls, separated by Hannibal-Paris-Plankenstrasse.

Lot 2 is framed by Hamilton Street to the south, between the parallel streets of what is now 36th (formerly Holmes) and Singleton Street. Lot 2 covers a total of 19.65 hectares.

During the Civil War, lots 2, 3, 4, and 5 (70 acres m / l) were owned by Jackson Riley. John B. Price (1822-1895) bought the same land through a sheriff sale in 1878. John J. Henderson, a lawyer, subsequently bought an acre of Lot 2 (the southwest corner) for $ 300 on April 23, 1889. and probably lived there with his young family.

Henderson sold the same morning on October 7, 1903 for $ 1,500 to 27-year-old Albert Link.

Albert Link and his bride Tena V. Rendlen Link lived in this house for at least the next decade, greeting children along the way. In 1923 the Albert Link family lived at 3236 St. Mary’s Ave., another rapidly growing neighborhood in the city.

Albert Link

James W. Link (1833-1909) settled in Oakwood with his family in 1883. His children who reached adulthood included: Charles T., Leon L., Albert L., Eugene A., Mattie and Alice Link, and William Z. Shortcut.

It was Albert, born in St. Charles, Missouri, in 1876, who bought the one-acre property from John J. Henderson in 1903.

Albert Link (1876-1962) wore a variety of hats during his livelihood years, including working with his brothers and father in grocery and grocery retailing, as well as real estate investing.

In 1926 he opened the “Tarry Long Camp *” south of the Salt River on the Hannibal gravel road and New London north of New London.

In the camp, he sold groceries, lunches, and soft drinks, and also offered a gas station.

The facility had free picnic areas, swings, boats, and more.

An announcement in the May 21, 1926 issue of the Ralls County Record reads: “Women and children in particular are invited to come and patronize my place. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of time for an hour, come to Tarry Long Camp. I am sure you will enjoy yourself. “

family

Albert L. Link died in 1962

Albertina Victoria Rendlen Link died in 1952.

They are buried in the cemetery of the Holy Family in Hannibal.

Children of Albert Rendlen:

Joseph Rendlen Link, 1905-1978

Leslie B. Link, 1908-1924

James William Link, 1913-1983

Charles R. Link, 1915-2004

Albert Leslie Link 1920-2000

Note: The phrase “stay a long time” has a biblical reference:

“But if I stay long so that you know how to behave in the house of God, which is the Church of the living God, the pillar and the ground of truth.”

County assessor says residential real estate trends are ‘unprecedented’ | Local

July 10, 2021 by NREB Staff

Tom Schauwecker, Assessor for Boone County, told the Muleskinners on Friday that he was seeing an unusual trend in Colombia – a convergence of higher property prices and low housing supply.

“The real estate market we are in right now, the residential real estate market, is unprecedented,” he said at the weekly gathering of District Democrats.

The median price of an existing home in Boone County rose 17% from March 2020 to March 2021, Schauwecker said. This is in line with national trends showing an increase in house prices.

According to the National Association of Realtors, average existing home prices for all apartment types rose 23.6% year over year in May.

The low interest rates are also driving the market, said Schauwecker. According to the Missouri Board of Realtors, the national median rate in May was 2.96%, 0.27% less than May 2020.

The fluctuating supply and demand situation in student dormitories is also affecting the real estate situation in Colombia, said Schauwecker. The rapidly growing student housing market is now recovering from the decline in student numbers after the protests in 2015.

“Apartment buildings within walking distance of downtown are full, but suburban dormitories have suffered a blow,” he said. “We can see that suburban dormitories are returning to a more traditional type of housing.”

Despite the unprecedented situation, Schauwecker showed confidence in his team and was proud of the data availability that residents had during his tenure.

“The transparency, the ability to see what your home and your neighbors are being rated for, that’s what Boone County’s people expect,” he said.

After 30 years as an assessor, Schauwecker resigns in autumn. He did not seek re-election, and Kenny Mohr, the elected assessor, will take over this role from September.

Cleburne Council approves more than 1K new Texas homes

March 17, 2021 by Amy Amberlin

Several residents expressed skepticism a few years ago after Cleburne Mayor Scott Cain announced his 1,000 new home initiative because few new homes have been built in recent years. In the years since then, however, there has been an upswing, with the construction and / or planned construction of several hundred new Cleburne houses and the renovation of numerous existing houses.

The city council, in Cain’s words, outdid itself during the council meeting on Tuesday.

“I’d have to check my math, but I think we approved more than 1,000 new homes tonight alone,” said Cain. “I don’t think that has ever happened in the history of Cleburne.”

The approvals take place during an already robust phase of residential construction.

“We continue to see strong new housing trends across all areas of Cleburne,” said Grady Easdon, director of economic development. “As of March 2019, new residential permits were 53 versus 29 for the same period in 2018. This suggests that assuming economic conditions remain unchanged, we could potentially set another record for new residential permits in 2019.”

How many of the nearly 1,000 new homes approved on Tuesday evening will be built this year remains to be seen. However, Easdon noted that new home construction and sales in Cleburne and Johnson Counties remain strong.

What Shane Pace, community development director, now refers to as a “big field,” will one day contain 892 houses. Council members approved the preliminary platform for the project, an area of ​​285 acres known as Silo Mills Addition, located at 1010 County Road in Cleburne’s external territorial jurisdiction.

Council members approved a development agreement for the project in 2017.

“The agreement sets zoning and development standards for the property in question,” said Pace. “These standards contain specific requirements for the number and size of properties, setbacks and open spaces as well as additional design and development standards.”

The agreement gives Cleburne the opportunity to annex the area in the future. Pace referred to the area as a unique property because, while not within the city limits, the city played a role in setting the development standards of the project.

“This brings us one step closer to tackling dirt and construction,” said City Manager Steve Polasek.

A further 110 residential plots are in the works, these within the city limits. The council approved the final phase of Phase III of the Belclaire cultivation, which consists of 31,325 acres north of Country Club Road and west of South Nolan River Road. Easdon said roads and other infrastructure are already in place for Phases I and II of the project and house construction is expected to start soon.

Councilors approved the final stage for Phase I of the Mayfield Villages, which includes the creation of 72 residential lots and four open spaces. Phase I consists of 16,617 acres north of East Henderson Street, south of CR 805 and west of Fergason Road.

Council members approved provisional lots for the Forrester expansion, two lots on Woodard and Williams Avenues on which the developer plans to build 14 maisonettes.

Councilors have also redesigned 1.52 acres at 1308 Chase Ave. from a commercial park to a single-family home commercial park. The owner plans to build single-family homes on the property, Pace said.

Split vote

Three councilors and Cain rejected developer Richard Solomon’s request for a 9.4 acre RV park at 320 W. Kilpatrick Ave. from. Alderman Bob Kelly voted in favor of the motion.

Council members discussed Solomon’s proposal during their April 9 meeting, but delayed action until Tuesday evening at the request of Kelly and Councilor John Warren. Both said they wanted to visit the site before the vote.

The Cleburne Planning and Zoning Commission rejected Solomon’s motion 4-2 on March 25. A super majority in the Council would have been required to overturn the Commission’s vote.

Solomon said his 92-year-old father bought the property 35 years ago. The park would have been monitored for security and would not have allowed permanent stays. Park plans included playgrounds, a recreation area, a dog park and a tribute to the service of men and women, he said.

Solomon said Tuesday the parking streets are wide enough to accommodate fire engines and other emergency vehicles. The park, he added, would have been something Cleburne could be proud of and a great place for tourists in town to visit The Depot and other Cleburne amenities.

“I appreciate your presentation,” Cain said to Solomon. “I support your cause, but in the end it is our job to look for the best interests of the city as a whole and I don’t think that fits into this place and that the majority of residents don’t want this. ”

During the April 9 meeting, Cain said the property was instead an ideal location for beautiful apartments.

Kelly said he voted for Solomon’s request because he believes it would help tourism.

“I’ve seen some of the trashiest RV parks, but I’ve also seen some of the best, most beautiful, and well-kept,” said Kelly. “I think if we want people to come here and visit us, and some of them come in RVs and want a rental car to drive around, we need a nice, safe place to keep their RV. I think that’s something that people would be interested in.

“I think we need to encourage someone to come in and build something like something [Solomon] said he would do it and make it beautiful as he had hoped. We have people in our hotels and motels. But a lot of people like to have their RV and their own little place to stay. “
