Impact analysis
Taxpayers cover the city’s construction and monitoring costs, with the payoff being either avoided flood damage or new costs if water levels cause problems.
People and businesses near the waterway benefit most if the dam reduces flood risk and protects property.
Folks right on the water could get the downside if water levels shift or flood risk moves instead of disappearing.
