1. Initiate resident manager
program at Town * Campground |

|
|
Less income for 2 or 3 seasons until users begin to count on availability of lakeshore sites. |
With new brochures & promotion, increase in drop-ins likely & lakeshore are preferred sites |

|
|
May need treatment every 2 or 3 years, indirect return |
Increased recreational opportunity, one of nicest beaches on the lake |
|
4. Continue work on the community waterfront trail, linking business district to The Iron Center & historic displays |
|
|
in-kind services as matching funds for trail grants; use volunteer labor, students |
Increased use of waterfront area leading to business opportunities |
|
5. Honey wagon, trailer, pump |
|
|
2 seasons, w/an annual income of about $2,000 |
Reduced personal hauling, complaints, and spillage |
|
6. Upgrades to dump stations |
|
|
7 to 10 years |
Improved customer satisfaction |
|
7. Re-align the site layout in both campgrounds, increasing distance between sites, improving views of the lake & access to the beach* |
|
|
Cost is in municipal labor, utility cost is listed below. |

|
|
9 year payback w/$50 per upgraded seasonal site dedicated to project |
30 amp is the standard for RV campgrounds, improved electric = customer satisfactions |

12. Electric meters at priority sites (50 sites each campground @ $38/site) |
|
|
4 seasons w/a $10 annual meter fee |
