Aiken Maintains Seaway Stand On Champlain Waterway
Sen George D Aiken of Vermont said he never changed his position on the Champlain Waterway and backs the Vermont Champlain Waterway Commission’s report calling for a barge canal linking the St Lawrence Seaway to the Port of New York. He noted he supported deep water dredging in the lake only as a World War II military measure. Governor Hoff said Aiken’s views aren’t far apart and expressed caution about broader plans due to limited information on barge traffic impacts.
