With proposals for the future of the Echo Lake Dam in place, City of Burlington officials are seeking input from residents on what they believe to be the best course of action.
Residents have a chance to register their preferences for consideration by the Common Council through a survey available online and at the Department of Public Works facility on South Pine Street.
The survey is among the top stories in this week’s edition of the Burlington Standard Press. The newspaper will be available at local retail outlets on Thursday and subscribers will receive their copies with Thursday’s mail.
