More state money is coming to Eddyville, according to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and Gov. Andy Beshear, who made the announcement on Nov. 12. The Eddyville Riverport and Industrial Development Authority is set to receive approximately $2.7 million, according to a cabinet press release. Roughly $1.95 million — $1,954,101 to be precise — will “supplement previously awarded federal grant funds for new seawall construction and support adjacent warehousing and industrial developments,” the cabinet stated. Another $754,425 will supplement previously awarded state grant funds that were used to “build mooring dolphins to handle additional barges,” the cabinet stated.

Atkinson, served as the mobilization point for troops as they prepared to deploy to the border between the United States and Mexico in 1916 following the Pancho Villa invasion.At the time, according to Brewer’s research, several more prominent cities tried to entice the Kentucky National Guard to stay there instead, but Kentucky Adjunct General James Tandy Ellis refused their offers.“Earlington has been selected for the mobilization point for the KY troops,” Ellis wrote.
