Saline Dam

The City of Saline is considering whether to rehabilitate, replace, or remove the historic Saline River Dam. Dam removal offers long-term ecological benefits but raises concerns about aesthetics, recreation, and economic impact. A final decision on the matter is coming in October. In the meantime, the city has been taking public input and reaching out to neighboring communities for discussion. WEMU's David Fair talked with Saline Mayor Brian Marl about what has been learned so far and what comes next in the process.

After weighing options on maintaining, restoring, or dismantling the Saline River Dam, the Saline City Council is postponing its decision until October. WEMU’s Ana Longoria has the details.

Saline City Council expects a financial report on Monday from the city’s engineering office and Spicer Group consultants regarding the future of Saline Dam. WEMU’s Ana Longoria has more.
