The Middlesex County Board of Supervisors wants to abandon the section of Stormont Road (Route 629) that crosses Healy’s Millpond dam near Hartfield. A public hearing on the matter will be held at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 15, at the historic courthouse in Saluda.

The road is threatened by a privately owned dam that is expected to collapse unless it is repaired. The dam has a five-inch hole and the earthen portion of the structure is unsound.

If the supervisors vote to abandon the road, rights-of-way will revert to landowners adjoining the road.
