Gays Mills considers WP&L dam removal gift offer
Wisconsin Power and Light proposes gifting the five acre dam site and hydro plant on the Kickapoo to Gays Mills for $200 to cover transfer costs. The village ponders postponing PSC hearing while weighing recreation value and potential reuse like a Boy Scout center or park water level maintenance. The dam has long powered the town since 113 years ago and removal would erase a local landmark.
