Lock and Dam Community Conversation

Interested in learning more about the Army Corps of Engineers disposition study and the future of the Twin Cities Locks and Dams? Join the Landmark Center Volunteer Association and the Friends of the Mississippi River (FMR) Grassroots Organizing Coordinator Maddie Miller for a community presentation and conversation. The study is examining the future of both the Lower St. Anthony Falls Lock and Dam and Lock and Dam No. 1 (aka the Ford Dam). The study consists of several different ownership and management scenarios for the structures of the dams; dam removal being the most significant potential option. It’s hard to overstate what a big change this would mean for our river gorge. To help our community prepare for this study, Friends of the Mississippi River and partners hopes to engage as many people on the issue and to gather community feedback.
