Corps: 'Not everyone is going to like' its river study By Edward Husar, Herald-Whig
Roger Schoenekase of Quincy, business representative for Local 189 of the Carpenters and Joiners Union, said the navigation improvements will create many new jobs for area workers.
'It's probably one of the biggest public works projects we'll see since Cannon Dam in Missouri,' he said.
Schoenekase also supports the environmental improvements to be carried out as part of the plan.
However, a coalition of 10 environmental groups has lambasted the study, charging that the corps has overestimated future river traffic, underestimated the growing domestic demand for grain and ignored the benefits of less expensive congestion management measures, such as traffic scheduling.------------------------------------------- posted 6:40 AM :: reference link ::
