March 14, 2018

NH Business Review Staff,

Laconia Housing is completing renovations to the Tavern

Inn on Church Street, an historic building in downtown Laconia.

When completed, the Tavern Inn – built in 1912 – will feature 50 affordable studio and one-bedroom apartments for people 62 and older.

The Tavern Inn hallways and common areas are getting a makeover with freshly painted walls in modern level-coding colors, plank tile flooring and new acoustical ceiling tiles. Other improvements include a completely rebuilt parking lot, exterior brick repointing, and boiler replacement. All of the improvements have been funded through a loan from TD Bank.

Using Community Development Block Grant funds, the Tavern Inn also was recently modernized with a 33-kilowatt solar array on the roof, LED light fixtures, new windows, and ceiling insulation where previously there was none.
