About the Presentation: As part of the Kinni Corridor Plan implementation, the City of River Falls signed a Federal Cost Share Agreement between the City and the United States Army Corps of Engineers to study both the cost and environmental benefits of restoring the Kinnickinnic River to its natural setting by removing one or both hydroelectric dams. By signing this agreement, the City and the USACE will enter into the study phase. Recommendations from the study will then be presented to City Council. If the City agrees to move forward with recommendations, Federal funding of up to $10 million would be available for removal of one or both of the dams. Amy Peterson will share a bit of project history and more details on what the community can expect as the project moves forward.
