The Howard/Cooper County Regional Port is a strategic inland port located at Missouri River mile 196.5 on the left bank directly across from Boonville, Missouri. Serving as the only public port facility between Kansas City and St. Louis on the Missouri River, it offers vital logistical support for regional industries and plays a significant role in agricultural and industrial shipments. The port recently underwent a $3 million expansion with support from MoDOT and ARPA, enhancing its infrastructure and capacity. Its facilities provide 250,000 bushels of grain storage, 4 million gallons of liquid chemical storage, a robust general cargo dock with liquid handling capabilities, and heavy-lift cranes. This location, strategically adjacent to major highways and within a mile of rail access, facilitates seamless multimodal transport for both bulk and general cargo. Utility infrastructure, prime industrial acres for development, and its critical standing as a public shipping gateway along a major waterway underline its importance to economic development in central Missouri and beyond.
