A recommendation for a $300,000 state grant is helping to bring the Western Kentucky Riverport Authority a step closer building a riverport just south of the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers. The port authority board has a public-private partnership agreement on 69 acres of land at Lower Mississippi Mile 950.2, with roughly 2,000 feet of riverfront and two mooring cells owned by the adjacent Phoenix Paper mill. The site is just upstream from where May-field Creek flows into the Mississippi. Four far western Kentucky counties are partnering on the project in Wick-liffe, Ky. A formal lease agreement with Phoenix Paper will be sought once plans are further developed. |
