"The Restarting of the Columbia Dam Project" will create more revenue towards the city of Columbia to ensure a better economic era for Columbia, Tennessee. There was 80 million dollars of tax payer dollars that was wasted when the first attempt failed,what better way to pay back Columbia " After years of litigation, the dam, which was largely completed, was dismantled at a loss approaching $80,000,000 of public funds". Private funds have not been sufficient to create the budget for this plan, which is why i ask for the use of tax payer money "Private funds have been spent on this dam to rehabilitate it to resume electrical power production; however, this has not proven to be successful." This will produce not only a more sound environment through hydromagnetic power,it will create jobs for the largest city along the duck river in a time of economic decline. "Columbia, with a population approaching 40,000, is by far the largest town along the Duck."
