Neponset River Restoration Project

Cost Savings Associated with Dam Removal

[ Up ]

The state Riverways Program has contracted with the private firm of Milone and MacBroom to look at Neponset River restoration alternatives, including their advantages, disadvantages and costs. As the charts below indicate, full removal of both Baker and T&H Dams would cost taxpayers far less over the next 30 years than would operating and maintaining these aging structures.

See Summary of Options for Baker and T&H Dams.
