New Hope Dam Project Delayed By Budget Cuts
The Army Corps of Engineers says the New Hope Dam in Chat ham County North Carolina will miss its 1972 completion target and may push into 1973 or later due to a Nixon budget cut. The funding for next year was cut from 6.9 million to 2.5 million, with 7.1 million already spent and costs up about 35 percent from inflation. Local lawmakers vow to fight the cut to keep the project on schedule as landowners insist on compensation and land replacement options.
