World Trade Center Mississippi River Alliance and Big River Coalition sign 
Memorandum of Understanding

NEW ORLEANS – Officials with the World Trade Center Mississippi River Alliance 
(WTC MSRA) and the Big River Coalition (BRC) have signed a Memorandum of 
Understanding outlining a cooperative effort to preserve and promote economic 
growth on the Mississippi River and Tributaries (MRT). The organizations will 
work together in support of increasing the draft in the Lower Mississippi River 
deep-draft channel to 50 feet to equal the maximum draft to be available when 
the new Panama Canal locks open in 2015. Along with this agreement, both parties 
will be given access to broadcast their organizational information and updates 
to each other and its members.
