The Columbus City Council approved $50,000 tonight to study removing a low-head dam in the Scioto River, a move touted as a way to improve the river Downtown.
The dam study, to be undertaken with the Columbus Downtown Development Corporation, will examine whether it’s feasible to remove the Main Street dam. The city’s latest Downtown plan says that removing the dam would make the Scioto’s flow more natural there, creating new parkland in the city’s center.
