FRANKLIN FURNACE, Ohio — A fishing pier that had been closed for eight months because of the fear of terrorist attacks is open again.

        The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission reopened the pier at the Greenup Hydroelectric Plant this week.

        The Hamilton-owned facility had been closed since Oct. 5 on orders of the federal Office of Homeland Security and the FBI, which had warned of a possible threat to Ohio River dams after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

        The pier is open only during daylight, but eventually should go back to full operating hours, spokesman Bob Schweinsberg said.

        The pier generates $3 million in revenue each year on the Ohio side of the river through motel room rentals and gasoline and fishing equipment sales, he said.

        The plant, 96 miles south of Columbus, is owned by the city of Hamilton and creates electricity through diverting river water. The electricity is then stored and sold to communities throughout the nation. The plant was not closed after the attacks.
