Plans to study the feasibility of using the Black River and dam to generate all the parks power got a financial boost today. Lt. Gov. Barb Lawton joined Rep. Frank Boyle, D-Summit, at Pattison to present a $7,500 check for the studys first phase. The money, from the Wisconsin Department of Administration, will determine if current technology will allow the goal can be met in a cost-effective way.
In the past, there wasn’t enough water to make it economically viable, said Kerry Isensee, superintendent of Pattison an Amnicon state parks. “But apparently with new technology, we might be able to.”
