[MassHistPres] dam removal question

[marilyn.mcarthur at comcast.net]

Greenfield is working on a plan to remove the historic Wiley & Russell dam on the Green River, with partners including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, American Rivers, and others. The town historic commission and the Museum of Our Industrial Heritage are inclined to save the dam as the centerpiece of a proposed greenway along the Green River through town. (originally a timber crib dam from 1836, reinforced over time) 
Have other historic manufacturing towns in Massachusetts faced the challenge of interrupting the dam removal process? What has been the outcome?
