Chrisney Breaks Ground on Dam Improvements Project

On Wednesday, September 28, 2011, the Town of Chrisney celebrated the start of construction on the improvements to the dam with a ground breaking ceremony.  State and local elected officials gathered at the Chrisney Lake Dam to celebrate with them.

In August 2010, the Town of Chrisney was awarded a grant in the amount of $872,600 from the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA) for dam improvements.  This grant will allow the Town to rehabilitate the principal spillway, stabilize the embankments, upgrade flow capacities of the emergency spillway, provide emergency lake drawdown capabilities, and various other structural improvements and renovations.

The project was designed by Commonwealth Engineers, Inc. out of Evansville, Indiana.  The construction contract was awarded to Burlington Civil, Inc. from Owensboro, Kentucky.  Construction of the project will begin immediately.  The project is scheduled to be complete by April 2012.
