One month into the new year, the Port of Little Rock was already breaking records as a part of its growth initiative when it handled more barges and tonnage in January compared to the same time last year. Not only is the port projecting this to be a trend throughout 2019, it is also steadfastly working on port improvement projects, attracting new business and touting itself as an intermodal port ready to further expand its services on the inland river system.
Growth and transformation has been a key focus of the port since its inception in 1959. Sixty years later and under the leadership of the Little Rock Port Authority, the port has become a transportation hub that connects the state to the global economy via its river terminals, railroad connections and highway access.
