摘要：	A study session for a conceptual plan for a possible intermodal facility in Crawford County, Ark., was held at a Western Arkansas Intermodal Authority (WAIA) meeting on January 10 at the University of Arkansas at Fort Smith. The report being studied offers three planning scenarios for a future intermodal facility. It was originally presented in April 2021 to the WAIA by Pickering firm Inc. and Moffatt & Nichol, an infra- structure advisory company. The WAIA is chaired by Arkansas state Sen. Matt Pitsch. The three main concepts for the facility include a river-serviced multi-use port; rail- and river-serviced multi-use port; and a rail- and river-serviced container port. The first scenario would divert cargo from trucks to inland waterways. It allows for support of heavy cargo industries such as wind and project cargo, provides flex open storage for container and heavy cargo and provides river access to support the growth of an economic development area. The second scenario would divert cargo from truck to rail and inland waterways. The third scenario would maximize land use in support of a container operation and would handle up to three shallow-draft vessels per week and minimize the cost of container-handling equipment.
