Corps Study Backed For Deepwater Port
The US House Appropriations Committee included an allocation for a Corps of Engineers feasibility study on extending deepwater port facilities to Lavaca Bay's west side. Tom Garner, hired to study funding, says a federal-heavy plan minimizes local costs. The project, from a 1986 resolution, could cost $20 to $50 million with multiple steps before funding. Local support, market analysis costs, and potential grants are discussed as steps proceed.
