The Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway Development
Authority is an interstate compact ratified by the U.S. Congress to promote the
development of the Waterway and its economic and trade potential. The compact consists of
the States of Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi and Tennessee and is funded solely by
appropriations from the member states. Its membership is limited to the four governors and
five gubernatorial appointees from each state. Chairmanship rotates annually among the
four governors. In addition to its promotional activities, the Authority is the waterway's
regional sponsor to ensure its funding and to address policies and issues that may deter
its development. |
