Help Shape the Future of the Jackson Dam Project
The Town of Hardwick, Hardwick Electric Department, and the Caledonia County Natural Resources Conservation District are inviting residents, property owners, businesses, and anyone with an interest in the Jackson Dam project to participate in a community survey.
As the project moves from feasibility into the next phase of engineering and planning, community input will help the Jackson Dam Steering Committee better understand what information people would like to receive, what questions they have, and what issues are most important to them.
This survey is not a vote on the future of the dam. Instead, it is an opportunity to help guide community engagement and ensure that future discussions address the topics that matter most to residents.
The survey is open through August 28, 2026.
Take the survey here: https://forms.gle/vYnKGmGofcjcmFFW6
Paper copies are available at:
- Hardwick Electric Department
- Jeudevine Memorial Library
- Hardwick Town Manager’s Office
Additional project information, reports, and meeting materials are available on the Town’s Jackson Dam webpage. Jackson Dam – Hardwick, Vermont
Public Site Visit – Confluence Floodplain Restoration Project
Friday, August 14
2:00 p.m.
Join the Town of Hardwick and SLR Consulting for a public walking tour of the Confluence Floodplain Restoration Project.
This is not a formal presentation. Instead, participants will have the opportunity to walk the project area with the engineering team, view the site firsthand, and discuss the project in the landscape where the work is being planned.
The site visit will include conversation about the river, floodplain restoration, project goals, and the next steps in the planning process. Questions are encouraged throughout the walk.
We will meet at the Cottage Street Bridge, but parking in the immediate area is limited. If you are able, please walk to the meeting location or park nearby on West Church Street or at Atkins Field and walk to the bridge.
Please wear sturdy footwear suitable for uneven terrain and dress for the weather.
Questions? Contact Kristen Leahy at (802) 472-1686 or zoning.administrator@hardwickvt.gov.
