The Tenn-Tom Waterway Development Authority invited business leaders and lawmakers for a ride on Friday morning, taking them on a leisurely cruise down the Tennessee Tombigbee Waterway. The Army Corps of Engineers hosted the event; they used the time to showcase industries and businesses that depend on the Waterway, and emphasized its value as a promoter of economic development.

“When you get right down to it, it generates revenue for the cities, the counties, and the state. But more than that, it’s people who have jobs that work at these businesses and industry, and it’s all about their quality of life,” says Tenn-Tom Waterway Administrator, Mitch Mays.
