James Minton of The Advocate reports that the West Feliciana Parish Port Commission accepted a draft feasibility and planning study for port facilities on the Mississippi River in the southern part of the parish.
Prepared by Shaw Environmental and Infrastructure, the report suggests five possible avenues of development, gives cost estimates for each and highlights the assets and liabilities of the entire 2,000-acre area included in the study. The possible options are a business/industrial park, a bulk storage and shipping area, a refinery, a heavy manufacturing site and a multi-use site that includes a heavy manufacturing plant and a light industrial park.
James Minton of The Advocate reports that the new Solitude low-water bridge has opened. West Feliciana Parish Manager Ambrose Sims reports that people were riding back and forth over the new Solitude low-water bridge last Tuesday to celebrate the reopening of the Mahoney Road route between St. Francisville and Solitude.
Bayou Sara's rushing waters uprooted the bridge's concrete spans in December 2005, but on Tuesday "low water" was a fitting description for the stream's flow.
