MADISON — Selectmen say the town needs around $2 million to replace the failing 100-year-old, town-owned dam on Silver Lake, and U.S. Rep. Chris Pappas is seeing what he can do to help.
On Tuesday, Pappas met with selectmen at the town boat ramp adjacent to the dam on East Shore Drive. Pappas told the Sun that every federal lawmaker gets to submit 20 requests for funding in an appropriations bill, and that the dam and money to renovate the Conway Police Station are on his list.
