The 57th annual Tennessee River Valley Association and Tennessee-Cumberland Waterways Council meeting October 9-10 in Franklin, Tenn., included an update on projects along the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers as well as a comprehensive look at available federal funding and needs. The association's board voted at the meeting to support the request of Waterways Council Inc. (WCI) for the upcoming 2024 Water Resources Development Act. WCI is asking for 100 percent federal funding to be provided for all seven major construction and rehabilitation projects originally believed to be funded to completion by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Updated certified cost analyses at these projects found that inflation pressures had greatly increased their costs in many cases. |
