Sherin and Lodgen represents The Provident Bank in financing of hydroelectric dam

Sherin and Lodgen’s Renewable Energy practice group represented senior lender, The Provident Bank, in the financing to Canton Hydro LLC for the construction, rehabilitation, operation and maintenance of the Upper Collinsville Dam, a hydroelectric dam located on the Farmington River in Canton, Connecticut. The Dam was constructed in 1867 by The Collins Company to power their manufacturing facilities. After the Collins Company closed in 1966, the Upper and Lower Dams as well as structures on site were donated to the State of Connecticut. You can learn more about the project here.
