Study urged on longer Mississippi navigation season
A draft report from Maj. Gen. Ernest Graves proposes extending the Upper Mississippi navigation season to Burlington and Quad Cities with a 52 week year and a 46 week winter window to the Quad Cities. Estimated cost is 28 million dollars with a potential 15 to 1 benefit ratio, while extending to Cassville lacks economic justification. The Phase I findings outline feasible options, environmental checks, and public meetings to gather views on authorization.
