摘要：	Missouri Gov. Mike Parson signed a bill June 30 that, among other things, included $37 million toward the improvement and growth of two Missouri River ports in Kansas City. The funds were part of the Missouri Fiscal Year 2024 state operating budget, which is approximately $51.8 billion, including $15.2 billion in general revenue. Of the budget, nearly $4 billion is directed to infrastructure and transportation projects. The only public port on the Missouri River in Kansas City at present is Woodswether Terminal in the West Bottoms. Woodswether is a 7-acre, multimodal facility that connects to rail and has immediate access to interstates. The port claims that freight in 2023 has already surpassed 2022 numbers. Port KC will utilize $7 million of those dedicated funds to build a new dock that will double the volume of barge traffic at this location, the port said. Port KC assumed ownership and reopened the port in 2015 after decades of disinvestment and eventual closure.
