Atlantic Deeper Waterways Convention at Norfolk
The Atlantic Deeper Waterways group plans its second convention in Norfolk Virginia to push a Maine to Florida waterway. The effort includes surveys from Maine to Key West and a proposed inland passage from New York to Boston via Cape Hatteras and Pamlico Sound. Supporters argue it would boost trade and reduce costs, while critics fear delays and high costs. The program also discusses ice plant proposals in Chicago and a proposed bank tax league in Albany.
