The East Troy Village Board voted 5-2 to remove the East Troy Dam on the Honey Creek at tonight’s meeting.

The board’s decision comes after a year of debate over what to do with the dam that was damaged during the flooding in July 2017.

The village applied for a Department of Natural Resources grant to repair the dam, which it received, but in the end, the board members said removing the dam was in the best interest of village.
