Grassley Applauds Infrastructure Funding For Lock and Dams

The US Army Corps of Engineers plans to invest more than $829-million dollars in improvements to the lock-and-dam systems on the Mississippi River. US Senator Chuck Grassley is applauding the move, saying it’s a much-needed update to make the waterway more efficient for moving goods up-and downriver. Grassley says the Mississippi and Missouri rivers give Midwestern farmers a leg up on their international competitors for both exports and imports.  He says these improvements are especially important in the aftermath of historic flooding in 2019.
