Tenn-Tom Waterway Development Authority says ‘business is good’
SUMMARY: Business on the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway is thriving despite roadblocks, such as the closure of the dam in Demopolis, Alabama for repairs. Tenn-Tom Waterway Development Authority Administrator Mitch Mays discussed the economic impacts of the waterway on businesses, such as Steel Dynamics and Aluminum Dynamics, which would not have been located in the area without the river. The closure of the Demopolis lock has no set timeline for reopening, affecting barge and recreational traffic. Overall, the waterway plays a crucial role in supporting various businesses in the region and driving economic development.
