| 摘要： | A small port with big plans on the Mississippi River has said farewell to a long-serving port director. After 30 years of service, Kenny Gober, executive director of the Chicot-Desha Metropolitan Port Authority, was honored by friends and associates at a retirement party February 15. The authority's slackwater port, located just south of Arkansas City, Ark., is called the Yellow Bend Port. Its location, its 350- by 810-foot slackwater harbor that can accommodate a four-barge tow and its proximity to I-40, I-20 and I-30 have made it a grain shipping center. According to the present executive director, Allen Evans, the port moved about 218,000 tons of rice, soybeans, corn and wheat in 2022. "We're in negotiations to bring in lime, hardwood chips and gray rock cargoes," Evans said. The port acquired an overhead crane in 1995 and gave it a major upgrade in 2020. |
