Jackson Dam: What Have We Learned?

Monday, October 5 at 6:00 p.m.
Hardwick Memorial Building and Zoom

What did the Jackson Dam feasibility study and river modeling tell us about the dam, flooding, and the Lamoille River?

Join us for the first public conversation about Jackson Dam. We’ll review what has been learned so far, what questions remain, and what comes next.

This is not a decision-making meeting. It is the first of many opportunities to learn more and ask questions.
