American Commercial Barge Line (ACBL) has released potential development plans for the former Jeffboat site along the Ohio River in Jeffersonville, Ind. Following the results of a study to determine the highest and best use of the property, which included several public meetings to gather input from local stakeholders and neighbors, ACBL, OHM Advisors and The Wheatley Group announced that the study concluded the site is best suit- ed for a mixed-use development to include a cruise ship dock, a 150-slip full-service marina, restaurants, bars, shops, office spaces and living spaces. "When that fence finally comes down, and there's a development over there, it's going to be pretty impactful for the residents that either had parents or grandparents who may have worked there," said Dylan Fisher, vice president of real estate at The Wheatley Group, which conducted the study on behalf of ACBL. ACBL owns the 80-acre, 1-mile-long waterfront property on East Market Street, in Jeffersonville. It has been vacant since Jeffboat closed its doors in 2018. The property was once the nation's largest inland shipyard, originally built as the Howard Shipyard in 1834 before Jeffboat conducted its operations at the site from 1938 to 2018. |
