Fight Shapes Up On Summersville Dam Allocation
Washington AP reports a debate over funding to start construction of the Summersville Dam on the Gauley River in West Virginia. Rep. Cleveland Bailey seeks a $2 million appropriation, citing job creation in Fayette and Nicholas Counties and potential industrial growth along the Kanawha River. Eisenhower has advised against new starts. Bailey says $2 million could fuel one year of work, with $500,000 spent on planning so far. The dam would stand about 310 feet high, creating a large eastern U S storage reservoir with an estimated $45 million cost.
