Socony Vacuum to Build 2.5 Million Gallon Tank in La Crosse
The Petroleum Administration for Defense may allow Socony Vacuum Oil to construct a 2.5 million gallon gasoline and fuel oil storage tank west of the existing facility in La Crosse. The order would also release about 15,000 tons of steel for six Wisconsin and Upper Michigan ports blocked by ice, including Milwaukee Green Bay Marquette Sault Ste Marie and Dollar Bay. Arch ie Osberg says the ruling could advance the exgenerce program in the Wisconsin cities and dredging may begin soon with construction to start once steel is released and finish before navigation ends this year.
