Abandoned Quoddy Project Death and Delayed Revival
Eastport residents recall the Quoddy project once worth 40 million dollars and a peak of 5 400 workers. Congress cut funding in 1995 leaving a so-called temporary abandonment as engineers test corrosion and future prefabrication plans. Parts of the dam system, power station and locks remain unfinished with a potential youth program revival.
