JOC: Port of Mobile to Get Stimulus Funds

From JOC:

A long-promised turning basin at Alabama’s Port of Mobile will receive nearly $25 million in funding from the federal stimulus package.  The project — first authorized by Congress in 1986 — has been approved for American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.  The proposed turning basin has long been identified as ‘critical need’ at the Port of Mobile, where vessel traffic and ship sizes have begun to outgrow the harbor’s single turning basin.
