Col. Jason E. Kelly toured the Savannah Bluff Lock and Dam Friday with U.S. Reps. Congressman Rick Allen and Congressman Joe Wilson, as well as Augusta Mayor Hardie Davis, Jr., North Augusta Mayor Bob Pettit and other officials. Visiting this project was of the utmost importance because I wanted to understand the many complexities associated with this project, Kelly said. I understand the importance, understand what it means to this community, this community’s interest in ...this project. And really I wanted to make sure I understood so we could remain open and we could remain accessible and really think about the options that are there. The Corps’ plan would replace the lock and dam with a rock weir fish passage that would allow endangered shortnose and Atlantic sturgeon to swim upstream to historic spawning grounds in the Augusta Shoals. The project is required mitigation for the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project. #Partnerships #BuildingStrong #Readiness Photos by Lt. Chandler Cole
