Narrows dam hydro power to boost Arkansas region
George Douthit writes in the Arkansas Democrat that the Murfreesboro Narrows dam under construction will deliver flood protection and generate electric power. Initial output will be 17,000 KWH rising to 25,500 KWH with two 8,400 KWH turbines and a third planned. Transmission lines could extend power to Hope and southwest Arkansas, sparking industrial growth and cheaper electricity, though year round power is limited by river storage. The Hope Chamber of Commerce forms a committee to monitor completion as regional power prospects expand.
