Imagine truck – sized containers of transformers from the ABB plant or tons of Unilever products being shipped out of Jefferson City on barges. Heartland Port Authority Chairman Rick Mihalevich is heading up the plan to build a river port on 100 – acres near the National Guard’s Skelton Training Site …

A feasibility study claims the port could generate as much as $300 – million in economic development. The question is how to pay for it. Mihalevich says it could require a mix of public and private dollars.
