Port of Oswego Authority Grows From Humble Start
The Port of Oswego Authority evolved from a 1953 proposal into a substantial port operator. It acquired the grain elevator, built a 100000 square foot warehouse, West and East Side facilities, and a marina while expanding revenue from storage, dockage, and leases. Deepening the harbor to 24 feet faces federal hurdles, with a 1964 start anticipated.
