An 80 year-old dam in the town of Ramapo is getting a $1.5 million upgrade. Local officials ceremoniously broke ground on the Lake Suzanne project last week. Located just off Vincent Road in Monsey, the dam was built by a hunting and fishing club that no longer exists. Ramapo supervisor Michael Specht says it needs to be upgraded to modern standards…
The dam was classified by the State DEC as a “B” Intermediate-Hazard instead of a “C” High-Hazard, which is keeping construction costs lower.
