Status of Charleston Dam Project in Cochise County
The Charleston dam project gains momentum as Cochise county leaders from Tombstone to Benson seek united support. The project, dreamed for decades, could irrigate up to 15 000 acres with a reservoir of about 2 000 acres, financed with a government and local cost split and a potential twenty year assessment. Plans call for a countywide delegate convention to push state and federal agencies toward action.
