DOVER-FOXCROFT Dover-Foxcroft residents will vote in June on whether to remove the historic Mayo Mill dam and build a riverfront park. If they don’t approve that plan, they’ll be on hook for the $6 million to $8 million cost to repair it.
DOVER-FOXCROFT Last month the Dover-Foxcroft Select Board voted to accept a recommendation from
the Mayo Mill Dam steering committee that removing the dam and connecting facilities and building a riverfront park is in the town’s best interests moving forward.
Reducing flooding dangers, improving the area’s ecology, including fish passage, and the availability of funding for dam removal were among the main reasons for the committee’s conclusion.
