COLEBROOK – The Coos County Commission gave its blessing to Les Otten’s latest plan to restore the Balsams Resort in a special meeting Monday morning. On a 2-1 vote, the commission approved a resolution and a non-profit agreement that will allow Provident Resources Group to partner on the project by developing, financing, and owning the 650-seat Lake Gloriette House and convention center. Commission Chair Tom Brady voted against the resolution, noting the commission had just received the documents that morning and suggested holding another meeting in a week to vote.
But Balsams developer Otten described the vote as part of a two-step process and said both the commission and delegation would vote again on a final resolution after some additional details are worked out. There will also be a public hearing after the new year. Otten said he hopes to have enerything finalized by March.
