摘要: Stakeholders of the Tennes-see-Tombigbee Waterway (Tenn-Tom) gathered in Point Clear, Ala., August 10-12 for the 40th annual Tenn-Tom conference to celebrate its rich history and look to the future of navigation and industry on the waterway. Brig. Gen. Jason Kelly, commander of the South Atlantic Division of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, greeted the crowd by emphasizing the importance of ensuring the Tenn-Tom remains "viable and reliable." Kelly looked back at the construction of the Tenn-Tom Waterway, which began in 1972 and concluded in 1984 at a cost of $1.9 billion. At the time, the Tenn-Tom was the largest project in the Corps' history. "Few know that the excavation ef- fort for the Tenn-Tom exceeded that of the Panama Canal," Kelly said. "It was quite the undertaking."
