John C has clearly stated that he is not predicting an immediate economic boom to the area if we get 483.  He has said there is a chance, and there is a possibility that more boaters would be here in the off months.  Each business would have to determine its response to the possibility, probably only after they saw a reality.

I, for one, have mixed opinions.  I like the beach in the winter, good to access my pier for repairs, etc.  On the other hand, if we had 483 standard, I would purchase a ride on PWC ramp, so I could keep my 4stroke sea doo at the pier year round.  So, there is a tiny bit of $ that 483 would produce, a little bit more gas purchased from local store in off months.  Multiply that by number of other permanent residents, add a few weekenders, and at least a slight $ boost.

Question is:  In the eyes and minds of the licensing folks is that amount of $, and my enjoyment of more water (and yours and theirs) worth the risk the agency takes to use the lake for flood control?  They have years of history with it working, so a change will be hard to come by.
