Description
Among
the
featured
headlines
the
August
27
,
1929
issue
of 'The
Ruralite
'
(Sylva
,
N.C.)
was the
article
'
Power
Co
. Will
Build
Nantahala
Dam
this
Fall,'�
reporting
on
plans
of the
newly
formed
Nantahala
Power
and
Light
Company
for a
hydroelectric
development
on the
Nantahala
River
in
western
North
Carolina
. The
article
indicated
that the
impounded
waters
of the
proposed
175-foot
high
dam
were to be
directed
through
a
five-mile
long
tunnel
to a
powerhouse
at
Nantahala
,
N.C
.
However
, at the
end
of
July
1931
the
company
halted
construction
of the
Nantahala
project
as a
result
of the
Great
Depression
and a
resulting
lack
of
need
for
additional
electrical
production
in the
region
overall
. Not
until
1940
did
work
resume
on the
Nantahala
Development
.
