Evansville, Ind., tourism officials want to rehabilitate the former dock for a World War Ⅱ amphibious vessel and use it to attract riverboat cruises. Inland Marina was the home of LST-325 until the ship relocated alongside a new museum in a downtown area adjacent to a riverfront park in June 2020. That move was made possible when the Tropicana Casino moved from a river-boat to a land-based operation in October 2017. LST-325 is now located where the casino boat had been moored from 1995 to 2017. On April 28, the Evansville-Vander-burgh County Convention and Visitors Commission board voted to request that the Vanderburgh County Council permit $60,000 of the money raised from hotel room taxes be used to cover maintenance work and other expenses at the former LST-325 dock at Inland Marina, as well as to create fresh promotional materials to show cruise lines. |
