After years of deliberations, a Camden committee has recommended that the town remove the downtown Montgomery Dam ahead of a vote on the matter next spring.The Megunticook River Citizens Advisory Committee voted 8-1 to approve a recommendation for fully removing the 254-year-old dam. The committee argued that fully removing the dam is the best option, including the increased flood risk that would come with keeping it and the hindrance it creates to marine species that would benefit from a free-flowing river.
