laconia state school

Robynne Alexander was the initial winning bidder on the 220-acre Laconia State School property. She then failed to close on the sale, and now faces prison time.

The buyer has two years to close the deal, and the project may begin with commercial development, not the housing city officials say is desperately needed.

The state’s chosen buyer, who offered $21.5 million in cash, missed her Monday deadline to close the deal despite receiving three extensions.

The state of New Hampshire tells the chosen buyer of the Laconia property to "put up or shut up."

The would-be buyer has big plans for the former Laconia State school property, but the final sale has been delayed.

The development team reduced the number of housing units after an updated analysis of the Lakes Region housing and tourism market.

Two members of the state's review committee said they were not given the developer's financial information or professional portfolio. They said they learned of her inexperience with such a large project and tax liens from a New Hampshire Bulletin story.

One proposal includes 1,300 housing units, a conference center and recreational space.
