Middleport to Install Floating Docks to Boost Boating
About 50 feet of floating docks will be placed on the Ohio River within two weeks by the Middleport Chamber of Commerce. The project aims to lure out of town boaters and support local business, with village officials budgeting funds to improve the levee for easier boat unloading and plans to add signage and a dedicated parking area for trailers and vehicles.
