Ossipee Lake Alliance says the initial study of natural resources at Long Sands shows that the proposed site for a new town beach for Ossipee does in fact have rare plants and significant plant communities that need to be protected.
Selectman Harry Merrow released the state report on natural resources at Long Sands and said that at this time those results are inconclusive.
As debate over the proposal to create a new town beach on Ossipee Lake continues, members of Ossipee Lake Alliance and others have raised the question of whether the people of Ossipee need another town beach.
David Smith, executive director of Ossipee Lake Alliance, has written a letter to Sean O'Kane, commissioner of the N.H. Department of Resources and Economic Development, questioning the town's need for another beach on Ossipee Lake, particularly one that will use state land at Long Sands.
Meeting for the first time since the last public hearing in Gilford, the Recreation, Resource and Development Committee for the state’s House of Representatives held a work session on Tuesday, September 27.
