Statement on Causeway Project

Here is the TLA Statement regarding Jeffrey Keenan’s causeway project:

“As an association that is dedicated to ensuring the long-term health of Twin Lakes, the TLA is supportive of efforts that may have long-term benefits for the lake ecosystem.  The TLA board recently met with Mr. Keenan and his environmental consultant, Tim Abbot, to discuss the environmental restoration proposal which would ultimately involve removing approximately 20% of the manmade causeway.  Based upon the information we reviewed and assuming the proposal can meet all the scientific, legal, regulatory hurdles and will result in a net positive benefit for the lake ecosystem, we support the continued exploration of this project with the Nature Conservancy and appropriate state and local regulatory bodies.   As we have always done, we intend to engage with the TLA membership and community residents to facilitate the exchange of fact-based information in a thoughtful, reasoned manner.”
