The future of one of the Midwest's largest cultural and economic resources may be in danger. Learn what's being done about it.
Public Meeting, March 11
Degradation is happening to the Missouri River, and it could cost the region billions of dollars in damaged infrastructure and lost business revenue. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Mid-America Regional Council and local community partners are collaborating to execute a study of the degradation and to learn what can be done to prevent it. You can help by becoming informed.
MARC and the Corps of Engineers will host a public scoping meeting on Tuesday, March 11, from 4:30 to 7 p.m. at the MARC Conference Center, 600 Broadway, Suite 200, Kansas City, Mo. The meeting will provide an opportunity for citizens to contribute their ideas about what issues the study should address and other related concerns. If you cannot attend on this date, please submit comments via our online form, or U.S. Mail. Public scoping comments will be accepted through March 31, 2014.
Except where subject to the confidentiality provision of the National Historic Preservation Act, all comments will become part of the public record and may be included in public documents.For information, contact Lesley Rigney at 816/701-8355

As this photo shows, bridges in the
Missouri River and its tributaries are
at risk due to bed degradation.
An infrastructure inventory conducted
as part of a larger economic study
will provide cost estimates associated with continued degradation
and various alternatives that might
slow
or arrest degradation.
