The operating port facilities are located on approximately 45 acres of land owned by the City of Paducah and McCracken County. Approximately 35 of these acres are utilized for operations with 10 acres available for future development. The site has 2,300 ft. of river frontage. The acreage is bisected by South Fourth Street which connects with Wayne Sullivan Drive in two locations. Land areas in the vicinity of the port are fully developed with primarily industrial facilities.
In 2006, Paducah-McCracken acquired 242 acres of undeveloped land west of Paducah, located on the Ohio River with 2,000 ft. of river frontage. This land, referred to as Riverport West, was acquired for future development and has had no infrastructure installations to date. The Greater Paducah Economic Development Council plans for this western section of Paducah to become a large industrial area, with the Council owning or having options on an additional 1,800 adjoining acres.
