The Ohio River accounts for over one-third
of the maritime cargo moving inland in the
United States each
year, (approximately 275
million tons) and by comparison handles more
cargo per year than the Panama Canal.
Columbiana County's southern border has
modern industrial parks and river ports on
the Ohio. The port system
of Columbiana
County which provides year round
international cargo service via the Ports of
new Orleans and
southwest Louisiana, feeds
the industrial base of Northeast Ohio. When
combined with the adjacent 10 county
Port of
Pittsburgh system, Columbiana County would
constitute the 7th largest Port in the
United States. |
