Summit County Executive Ilene Shapiro's Office announced Tuesday that the county council recently passed legislation to support the Ohio EPA with a $250,000 grant for the removal of the Gorge Dam.
“Summit County is proud to support the removal of the Gorge Dam. This long-awaited project will provide significant environmental, social and economic benefits to Akron, Cuyahoga Falls and our entire county. Removal of the dam is a massive undertaking that requires considerable collaboration between all levels of government and community. I commend each of the partners who have each invested substantial time and money to finally free the falls,” Shapiro said.
That pool, which is a mile-and-a-half long, created a blockage on the Cuyahoga River that impedes the movement of fish and other aquatic wildlife. To read more about the dam's removal, CLICK HERE. You can also watch a video in the player below from the Summit County Metro Parks about the dam.
