摘要：	A portion of the Water Development and Resources Act (WRDA) of 2022 will help a western Kentucky riv-erport expand by adding additional water frontage. The Eddyville (Ky.) Riverport and Industrial Development Authority received authorization in the legislation to receive roughly 3 acres of adjacent undeveloped land owned by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The property includes about 600 feet of frontage along Lake Barkley, an impoundment of the Cumberland River. It is located at Cumberland River Mile 43. As part of a news release in December, U.S. Sen. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell talked about the importance of the land transfer. "Eddyville Riverport is part of Kentucky's large and growing network of inland waterways facilities and requires new land to expand their capabilities," he said. "In this year's Senate water infrastructure bill, I helped the Eddyville Riverport team cut through red tape and expedite the process required to acquire land from USACE. This will help the riverport expand and bring new economic opportunity to surrounding communities."
