SNYDER ANNOUNCES FUNDS FOR THE LITTLE ROCK PORT WASHINGTON, D.C.-United States Representative Vic Snyder
(AR-02) announced today that the U.S. Department of Commerce's Economic Development
Administration has awarded $3 million to the Little Rock Port Authority, Central
Arkansas Water, and Little Rock Wastewater Utility for the Little Rock Port.
The funds will be used to develop infrastructure, including the
warehousing/terminal building, at the port and to replace a fuel pier at the
port's slackwater harbor area.
"I am pleased to see the Little Rock Port receive these much-needed funds,
which mark a great investment in the future of commercial trade in Arkansas by
allowing the state to fully utilize the Arkansas River," Congressman Snyder said.
