USACE commanders visit local area

VISITED THE AREA–Colonel Andy Pannier and Brigadier General Kimberly Peeples are pictured while taking at tour at KRPD #2 at Baldwin last week.

On Sept. 27, Colonel Andy Pannier and Brigadier General Kimberly Peeples visited the local area.

Pannier is the commander and district engineer for the St. Louis District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and Peeples is the commander of USACE’s Mississippi Valley Division.

As both took these new positions in July of this year, they wanted to come visit, see the district and hear concerns. So they met with members of the Lower Kaskaskia Stakeholders, Inc. and the Kaskaskia Regional Port District.
