Howdy y'all. Owensboro, Ky, is busting with some great new projects. The first is a surprise by all, but evidently was in the works for a tad. There is an old Port in Owensboro.....port of Owensboro??? that has been dormant for years. But it is about three stories high and can be given rebirth to a new Barge building company by the new investor consortium called Mammoth Marine, Inc. from Louisville, Ky. Deborah Dewey, I believe is the correct name for the President of this company. It is high tech welding jobs that will give a great wage, and is to hire about 150 folks.
The addition of great paying jobs to the area is a boon for Owensboro, Ky. I don't remember the time they will start breaking ground to get this project going or how many millions it will cost to get that building into shape to use. The product is to build new barges. This is exciting.
I haven't had a chance to find the phone number of these folks to see what else they may build or plan to ever build. This is great as in the area Tell City, In, they will be building that large harbor that is 800 acres. That part of the country will be popping with lots of great river traffic excitement. This just proves how much folks are looking at this part of the country for more river uses, more river jobs, and more river economic development.
I'll keep you posted when I find out more about this company.
Have more happy river boating experiences and enjoy the RIVER!! Mary
