Note to the Press: Please include the following statement from State Rep. Randy Frye (R-Greensburg) in your coverage of the announcement of a potential fourth port location yesterday by Gov. Eric Holcomb:

STATEHOUSE (Sept. 22, 2017) – “A fourth port of Indiana would not simply be a place where barges come to load and unload cargo, but an industrial complex attracting business, commerce and industry to our area of the state. The announcement made by the governor indicating steps are being taken to purchase land in Lawrenceburg and Aurora is welcoming news for our communities. This location is ideal to establish a port due to the proximity of the Ohio River, access to rail and Interstate 275, and near the metropolitan area of Greater Cincinnati and its international airport.”
