The Guttenberg City Council received word that the Mooring Cell project north of Lock and Dam Number 10 will not happen. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers proposed constructing a $3 million, 40-foot-wide concrete mooring cell just above Lock and Dam No. 10. The Corps said the cell would create a designated location for towboats to wait before entering the lock, reducing bottlenecks and reducing environmental disturbances along the riverbank. Around 80-letters from city officials and other entities were received against the project, stating concerns including it would block scenic views and disrupt tourism.
The Council set March 24th as the public hearing date for the Property Tax Levy at 6pm.
