Paducah Awarded Boating Infrastructure Grant

By Chris Taylor

Paducah, KY – Paducah is being awarded over $900,000 in US Fish and Wildlife grant funding to go towards a riverfront development project near Schultz Park. The boating infrastructure grant will help fund the construction of a 400-foot long dock with space for 26 boat slips and a fuel station along the Ohio Riverfront. Mayor Bill Paxton calls the grant "an amazing boost" for the project. The City is expected to provide some $300,000 in matching funds.
