摘要：	McCracken County, Ky, and its economic development partners have applied for a $3.5 million federal grant that would allow the development of a new public riverport on wooded property along the Ohio River. Located at Mile 944, the 37.924-acre rural site named in the Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainabili-ty and Equity (RAISE) grant application, filed February 28, is part of a larger development called the Ohio River Triple Rail Site that Greater Paducah Economic Development (GPED) has been trying to market for the past few years, GPED CEO/President Bruce Wilcox said. Through its industrial development authority, GPED owns or has optioned about 800 acres of property, expandable to 1,000 acres, in west McCracken County. The site is 9 river miles west of the Paducah-McCracken County Riverport Authority, located in the downtown Paducah area at Tennessee River Mile 1.3-2.0, near where the Tennessee empties into the Ohio River. The intent through the grant would be for the riverport authority to operate an auxiliary port at the new site, which would be called Paducah River-port-West. It would either be sold to the riverport authority or operated by the riverport via a long-term lease, Wilcox said. That would allow it to take advantage of the port's existing Foreign Trade Zone designation and other available grant programs for port projects.
