It’s not been mentioned in the dialogue so far, but the Bluff location just up the hill from the bridge would be a fabulous location for the Tourism/Visitor centre.
There is convenient highway access, plenty of space for RV parking and the like, gorgeous panoramic views of the whole valley from an excellent vantage, and it would add a pleasantly designed structure to replace the hideous array of billboard ads (including the highly dangerous LED screen with completely blinding glare on a wet road – wonder how long till someone gets hurt, sued, or both) currently greeting visitors to the area. Heck, they could even plan in a nice event centre for concerts and events. Even add in a small ferry service from the tourism centre to downtown as an attraction and a pleasant way to enjoy the view from the lake if you don’t own a boat. You could even park your RV outside of town and then ferry over to downtown to explore.
Seems like a good compromise of benefits with some unique possibilities not possible otherwise.
