Two is building a better lock at Kentucky Dam which will lower the cost of transporting coal to power plants. Three is finishing a lock and dam at Olmstead which has been on hold since 2000. One other project which may be helpful is the cleanup of the area around Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant *** Hopefully the passing of the stimulus bill will put Kentucky employees back to work on these projects. | |
