Former Ohio River Lock and Dam 52 property near Brookport, Ill., is being conveyed to the Metropolis-Massac Port Authority later this year.
The provision was written into the Water Resources Development Act of 2020 with the support of legislators on both the Illinois and Kentucky sides of the river. The deed conveyance will take place once the final government contract for demolishing the former Dam 52 is completed.
“We’ve had our eye on the Dam 52 property for a long time,” Metropolis-Massac Executive Director Scott Garrett said.
Section 356 of WRDA gives the port authority “all right, title and interest of the United States in and to any real property located north of the south bank of the Ohio River in Massac County, Ill., that is associated with the Ohio River Lock and Dam 52.”
