Dry Dam at Union City Upsets Farmers and Sportsmen
The Union City area faces a $10.1 million flood control dam on French Creek that will leave the basin largely dry, sparking anger over aesthetics and ongoing cleanup costs. Residents fear debris and pollution, while officials project periodic maintenance and possible later conversion to a permanent pool amid cost projections near $25 million. Local farmer LaRue Ryan leads opposition, warning politicians preach conservation yet back the project. Rep. Joseph Vigorito shows sympathy but had no role in planning.
