Committee tells Belmont to rid itself of Winnisquam Station BY GAIL OBER

THE LACONIA DAILY SUN

BELMONT — A draft report from the town’s Building Assessment Committee says the town shouldn’t put one cent into the former Winnisquam Fire Station and should put the

structure on the market. Building Inspector Steve Paquin, who headed the fivemember committee comprised of himself and four people with some knowledge of the building trades, reported to selectmen last night that he couldn’t get

the entire committee to visit the building. “As soon as I mentioned it, three-quarters of them said ‘why bother?’” Paquin told selectmen. One-half of the building — which for years served as head-

quarters for an independent fire company — is currently being used by the Department of Parks and Recreation and the other half is used by the Fire Department for storage. It is not staffed by the fire department. see BELMONT page 10
