The hydroelectric plant at the Smithland Locks and Dam is one of several projects mentioned in an article by International Water Power and Dam Construction.
People in Indiana are talking about building a riverport near Cincinnati.

Wall Street Journal video on aging locks
A tip of the hat to my two-time former coworker Taylor Kuykendall at SNL Financial for pointing me to this video about lock and dam infrastructure on the inland waterways from the Wall Street Journal. It's a good introduction to the problem of aging facilities, and I was pleased to see some familiar faces on it.
The down side is that whoever did the captions apparently doesn't know the difference between "phase" and "faze" or the difference between "steel" and "steal." I mean, two references to the "steal industry"?
I would provide a link to the print story, but it's behind a paywall.
