Groundbreaking Set For Dam At Woodcock
CAMBRIDGE SPRINGS Ground breaking Wednesday for the Woodcock Dam near here marks the start of a project to make Meadville 80 percent flood proof in combination with the Union City Reservoir. John Staples US Army Corps of Engineers says finish by December 1972 and reservoir filled by next summer. The reservoir will be over 14 miles long at summer level and over 20 miles long in late winter. Lt. Gov. Raymond Broderick will head the dignitaries at ceremonies. Lane Construction Co. of Meriden Conn was awarded the contract in June for 7 356 516 dollars. The federal government will leave the north side of the lake natural while a recreational area is planned for the south side. No funds have been set for the park area yet. Upon completion the federal government will turn the facility over to the county which must maintain it likely via user fees.
