Land Owners Question Perry Dam Appraisal Process
About 50 landowners near Perry Dam met with Col. Miles Wachendorf and staff to contest Corps of Engineers land acquisition policies. Officials explained the $48 million project aims to create a 12 200 acre recreation lake by 1968 while noting compensation and enhanced land values affect buyouts. They declined public release of appraisal figures, likening the process to a poker hand. Local officials urged more favorable treatment for displaced residents.
