Big Muddy Canal Project Revived in Illinois
An area delegation to Washington won an Engineer Corps agreement to reopen the Big Muddy River Beaucorp Creek canal feasibility study, with Lt Gen Itschner allocating $15,000 for a July 1 start. The plan may allow alternatives and a narrower canal to improve cost benefit. If feasible, more funds would be sought in 1981 to complete full feasibility. The group includes regional business leaders and coal interests and was aided by Sen Paul Douglas staff.
