Dickey-Lincoln dam study weighs Maine costs benefits
Maine officials say the Dickey-Lincoln hydro project would cost the state over 114 million dollars in direct costs over 100 years while delivering flood control and other benefits totaling hundreds of millions. Discounting suggests net Maine gains of about 53 million, depending on interest rates. The project aims to supply part of New England's peak power, with a regional cost benefit cited by federal review. The Longley citizens committee will consider the project and advise the governor in December.
