How can people learn more about the town's options?

Orland residents will have several opportunities to learn more about their options before the vote on June 14.

On Sunday, May 22, the Orland Village Dam, alewife harvesting operation and fish ladder will be open to the public at 2 p.m., as part of World Fish Migration Day celebrations.

At a public forum on Wednesday, June 1, at 6 p.m. at the Orland Community Center, speakers will present the results of numerous studies done on the dam and Narramissic River since 2011, talk about fish and wildlife changes and visual changes to expect with dam removal, and discuss the funding being offered to the town to remove the dam, and why.

For more information on the Orland Village Dam and upcoming programs, please contact Dam Committee Chair John Barlow at 469-3749. This website will be updated frequently between now and June 14.
