Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear announced $500,000 in grants to four Kentucky riverports on July 5. The grants are for infrastructure improvements and equipment upgrades. "An efficient transportation system in all its modes - highway, air, rail and water - is essential to our economy and standard of living," Beshear said. "Our Kentucky riverports play a unique role in that system. We're pleased to be able to support these strategic investments." The funding, which was legislative- ly appropriated and must be locally-matched, was awarded for six separate projects at four riverports. Kentucky Transportation Secretary Jim Gray approved the awards at the recommendation of the Kentucky Water Transportation Advisory Board, which reviewed the applications. |
