Upgrades at Lackey Dam in Milton’s Lakhapani Preserve have been rescheduled as a result of Tropical Storm Helene’s impacts to the metro Atlanta area.
According to the City of Milton, the area in the reserve around the dam to fix issues with its two-acre pond would have had a portion of the greenspace’s loop trail closed for walkers while construction was underway.
JOC Construction was approved to remove trees and stabilize the downstream slope while preparing the LAckey Dam’s primary outfall, but Helene’s path through the metro area put that plan on pause.
