Public Meeting Set On Union City Dam Recreation Plan
The Army Corps of Engineers will hold a public meeting at Union City High School on April 14 to discuss converting the dry bed design at Union City Dam on French Creek to a permanent pool and surrounding recreation area. Col. E C West notes land acquisitions totaling about 1 239 acres for the pool and 1 109 acres for the recreation zone, with Erie County officials and many interest groups slated to attend. The plan seeks federal support under Flood Control Act of 1944 and Omnibus Rivers and Harbors and Flood Control Act of 1962, aiming for a 580 acre pool at elevation 1250 feet and up to 500000 annual visitors.
