$1 million for River Port doesn’t come through

It’s not the news Mid-Missouri city and county leaders were hoping for. Cole County Presiding Commissioner Sam Bushman says some requested funding for the planned Missouri river port didn’t materialize … It was $1 – million in seed money ..

The Heartland Port Authority would potentially build a river port that would provide more access to barge traffic. Bushman says there are other grants out there they can apply for.
