After years of planning and debate Burlington residents will have a chance Nov. 8 to vote on the future of the Echo Lake Dam.
While the vote is only advisory, it should give local officials the knowledge they need to finally make a decision on the future of the dam and lake.
The dam referendum is but one of many races – locally and statewide – that will be decided at the Nov. 8 election.
The upcoming election is the top story 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.
