| 摘要： | The Mid-America Intermodal Authority Port District of Quincy, Ill., will be the beneficiary of a $13.2 million grant from the state of Illinois' Port Facilities Capital Grant Program, with $600,000 coming from local matching funds. The grant was one of three announced January 28, worth about $40 million. That represents an unprecedented burst of funding for ports and waterways in Illinois.The Mid-America Intermodal Authority Port District is located in western Illinois and is the largest in area of Illinois' 19 port districts; it includes 11 counties that border the Mississippi and Illinois rivers. The port district is part of the three-state Mid-America Port Commission that includes 26 counties in Illinois, Iowa and Missouri. The commission has worked with the Corps of Engineers to identify potential new ports and has iden-tified the Quincy site as the first to develop.The district's plan is to acquire a plot of land adjacent to the existing Quincy municipal dock to develop direct barge-to-rail capabilities. Right now, the municipal dock can only transload between barges and trucks. The money will also help raise the municipal barge dock to prevent closure from flooding, something for which port officials have been lobbying for years. |
