New boathouses planned

The Upper Valley seems to have considerable pent-up demand for rowing facilities. UK Architects’ design for a Vermont-side boathouse near the Wilder Dam for the Upper Valley Rowing Foundation appears to be delayed by tax or land-use questions (UVRF minutes September 2008 [pdf]).

At the other end of town, past the Chieftain, the Friends of Hanover High School Rowing purchased Fullington Farm from Dartmouth in 2008 (UVRF minutes May 2008). The group plans to begin rowing there in 2010 (UVRF minutes September 2008 [pdf], Valley News). The Friends’ page on Facebook notes that Toronto architect Daniel Johnson is designing a boathouse.
