The 1977 Rescue & the $25 Million Dam Fix
Two rescues, forty years apart, saved this water. In 1977 a cash-strapped district gave the 100-acre lake to the county for free; in 2014–2019 a $20-million-plus rehab fixed the "high-hazard" 1938 dam. Without both, Lake Gregory might have been drained for good.
