The port authority that will own the former Ohio River Lock & Dam 52 property near Brookport, Ill., has been awarded money for a feasibility study once the property is transferred. The state of Illinois awarded the Metropolis-Massac Port Authority $1.5 million for the study, with fund disbursements to be overseen by the Illinois Department of Transportation.Currently, port officials are wait- ing for final documents that provide guidance for using the funds, Metropolis-Massac Port Authority executive director Scott Garrett said.The port authority, which has existed on paper since 2009 but never previously had any tangible assets, was awarded the property as part of the 2020 Water Resources and Development Act (WRDA). No deed of conveyance has yet been issued, however, as the final contract for demolition work at the site has not yet been completed. |
