Description
Removal of the Shiawassee Town Dam would reunited communities split apart for 100's of years by being "above" and "below" the dam on the Shiawassee River. Most people will not portage around the dam continuing a journey. They simply turn around and go home in their canoe or kayak. Eco-tourism is dead, destroyed by the dam, eliminating recreation. The dam serves no purpose whatsoever. No flood control, no hydroelectric, etc. - in fact it's a hazard - 5 deaths over the past 20 years.
