Rep. Todd Young introduced Mark Knoy, the President and CEO of Jeffersonville-based American Commercial Lines, at a Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment hearing in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday. The hearing focused on the reliability and importance of America's inland waterway system to our national economy.

In his introductory remarks, Young noted the importance of reliable inland waterways such as the Ohio River to local and national economies.

"As a representative of one of the major inland waterway port cities--Jeffersonville, Indiana--I'm dedicated to seeing that our nation's inland waterways remain a commercial super-highway capable of moving products to producers and goods to consumers," said Young.
