What is all that Equipment in Morse Park?

If you have been following Town News, you know that the Town of Lake Lure is in the process of installing a Reservoir Drain at the Lake Lure Dam. Morgan Corporation is overseeing this project and they have created a temporary loading area for loading barges, material, and equipment into the Broad River in the back of Morse Park. They will performing this work starting next Monday, April 29, 2024 and hope to be complete by Friday, May 10, 2024.

During this time an area will be blocked off and secure for all of their equipment and materials. We ask that the public please be cautious and not enter the work area at any time.

This work will allow Morgan Corporation to deliver the concrete bulkhead, metal portal door, and metal trash rack to the upstream face of the dam. This will be what seals off the dam so they are able to install the 72” drain pipe and two valves.

Please stay tuned for additional updates.
