Boardman dams topic of meetings

TRAVERSE CITY -- Area residents are invited to public meetings to discuss the fate of the Boardman River dams.

The Boardman River Dams Committee spent the past couple years studying whether to repair, retain, modify or remove four dams along the river.

Now the committee wants input on the options before making a final recommendation later this year. Informational meetings will be at 6 p.m. today at the Grand Traverse County Civic Center, 7 p.m. Sept. 30 at the Traverse Area District Library and 7 p.m. Oct. 1 at the Boardman River Nature Center. The committee also seeks public opinion through a survey, available at www.theboardman.org.
