The Army Corps of Engineers has received $1.14 million for improvements at Everett Dam in Weare and $450,000 for repairs to Blackwater Dam in Webster as part of the federal infrastructure law.

At the Everett Dam on the Piscataquog River, the money will pave the roadway and Everett Project Office parking, and design concrete repairs for the dam itself, according to an announcement from the state’s federal delegation.

At the dam on the Blackwater River in Webster, the money will pay for concrete repairs.

Also included is $500,000 to pave Davis Road at the Otter Brook Lake and $300,000 to replace the emergency generator at the Surry Mountain Dam.

This funding is on top of an earlier $1.6 million from the bipartisan infrastructure law announced in January to support Army Corps projects in New Hampshire.
