Authority Structure and History of Buchanan Dam Project
The authority operates as a non profit entity with a chairman secretary general manager treasurer general counsel and auditor. It never levied taxes to fund the project and relies on loans and federal grants begun in August 1935. The group acquired Hamilton Dam renaming it Buchanan Dam and expanded the scope to flood control and water conservation. Construction began in 1936 and the dams were completed by July 1937.
