  • The Northeast Georgia Hydroelectric Plants
    THE NORTHEAST GEORGIA HYDROELECTRIC PLANTS by NANCY ELIZABETH KELLY (Under the Direction of Wayde Brown) ABSTRACT The Northeast Georgia hydroelectric plants are important cultural resources to the state of Georgia and the communities immediately adjacent. If the early technology of these hydroelectric plants becomes obsolete, what is to become of these massive structures? This thesis evaluates the past, present, and future of these hydroelectric plants and their impact on the surrounding communities. It looks to other industrial structures to determine the best preservation strategies for the future protection of large unique resources. The thesis then applies these strategies to the protection of the hydroelectric plants.
