| 摘要： | As severe drought once again lowered river levels and restricted cargoes on the Mississippi River, mayors of cities and towns along its length met in Bemidji, Minn., near the river's headwaters in Itasca State Park, to address river-wide issues-including chronic drought. The annual meeting of the Mississippi River Cities & Towns Initiative (MRCTI) ran from September 12 through 14 and officially kicked off with a press conference on September 13. The conference brought together dozens of mayors from 10 states as well as global stakeholders. The meeting sought to increase infrastructure to reduce plastic pollution, solidify partnerships to equip Mississippi River cities with tools to best implement resources from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and address the drought impacts currently gripping the corridor. In addition, MRCTI completed a historic agreement between the indigenous nations of the headwaters region. |
