The Mississippi River Commission will take its mission to riverside communities this spring, hosting four public hearings as part of its 2026 High-Water Inspection trip and public hearings, March 23 - 27. The hearings, which are held onboard the Motor Vessel Mississippi at four different locations along the river, give residents, stakeholders, and local community members an opportunity to voice their views, share ideas about challenges facing the river system as well as engage with Commission members.
