The Camden Select Board will not advance two petitions regarding the Montgomery Dam to a June town vote. The board rejected the petitions at a meeting last week. While one petition sought to have residents vote on preserving the downtown dam, another asked voters to allow the Select Board to pursue grant funding for the dam’s removal. The Select Board has yet to make a decision on how to move forward with the potential removal of the Montgomery Dam and board members said advancing the petitions at this point would be premature. However, town officials have said any final decisions on the dam would go to a townwide vote.
