ST. LOUIS - Mayors of over 40 communities on the Mississippi River are meeting in Saint Louis, to look for ways to make the nation’s longest waterway more sustainable.
The Mississippi River Cities-and-Towns Initiative is holding its inaugural three-day meeting today through Saturday. Organizers say they hope to attract state-and-federal support for keeping the river vibrant.
They say the Mississippi plays a major role in moving an array of goods and farm products – and it provides drinking water for most of the three-million people who live along the river, including those in western Wisconsin and eastern Minnesota.
