Nine months ago this site hummed with
the sounds of construction. Three hundred
men were busy building Wallace Dam, a
324,000-kilowatt pumped-storage hydroelec
tric project near Eatonton. Now the sounds
are stilled, the “village” deserted, weeds
grow tall and equipment is beginning to
rust. Because of financial problems, Georgia
Power Company was forced to suspend work
last December on this and another hydro
electric project and delay construction on
two planned nuclear generating facilities.
