The sales of the Wentworth and Red Jacket signal a coming generational economic boom that will change us in as-yet-unforeseen ways.

History shows what we may be in for. The grand hotels in the 1800s ushered in the tourism industry and the beginning of the end of an economy largely based on farming and wood-related industries.

Economic boom or the final nail in the coffin of what used to be Conway.

What next, widening Rt 16 into a 4 lane highway from the Kanck to Intervale?

How about a Kohls and a Target? Maybe a few more parking lots?

I'm sure going to miss seeing the mountains and the stars...

As real estate prices continue to jet along with a shortage of year-round rentals in the area, good luck finding employees to service the coming economic boom.
