TEN YEARS AGO, the Obama administration budget included $4.8 billion for the Corps of Engineers' civil works program; the tow of the mv. Roberta Tabor was the first to reach St. Paul, Minn., for the 2013 navigation season; and McNational celebrated its 100th anniversary. TWENTY YEARS AGO, Sun Transportation's mv. Omaha celebrated its 50th year by opening the Missouri River navigation season; Furuno USA celebrated its 25th anniversary; and the mv. Itasca formally opened the navigation season on the Upper Mississippi River with a VIP/media cruise. THIRTY YEARS AGO, the Louisville Engineer District denied Hughes Group Inc.'s request to build a barge-loading facility on the Ohio River at Mile 587.6; and a proposal to open the West Pearl River to navigation to Bouga-lusa, La., was opposed in two public meetings in the Vicksburg Engineer District. |
