A decision for Orland residents


At a townwide vote on June 14, 2016, residents of Orland will elect one of the following two options concerning the town-owned Orland Village Dam:

Option 1: Does the Town wish to keep the Orland Village Dam and pay for associated costs? 

OR

Option 2: Does the Town wish to move toward removal of the Orland Village Dam by working with NOAA Fisheries Service and The Nature Conservancy to acquire available grant funding for dam removal and ancillary costs? 




Voting takes place at the Orland Community Center, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Friday, June 14. 

This website is intended to provide information to help the residents of Orland make this important decision about the future of their village. (See the About page for more background.)

A forum will be held on June 1 at 6 p.m., with presentations by people who have been studying the dam and river and opportunities for residents to ask questions and learn more about the options.
