Orland residents will get a chance to decide the fate of the Orland
Village Dam at an upcoming town meeting scheduled for 7 p.m. June 15 in
the gymnasium of the Orland Community Center at 21 School House Road in
Orland.
They’ll have two options: Keep the dam and be willing to pay for
annual maintenance and fish ladder upkeep, or accept funding being
offered by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Fisheries Service, the Nature Conservancy and other partners to remove the structure.
“Our dam committee isn’t
making a recommendation. We just want to present what the alternatives
are and the facts are as we’ve learned them,” said John Barlow, chairman
of the Orland Dam Committee. “We’ve been studying it now for four
years.”
