摘要：	Eleven months after Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards first touted the launch of the state's "SmartPort" initiative for the Lower Mississippi River, Edwards announced June 9 that SmartPort will receive a $1.6 million grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration. The state and its port partners will add $1.4 million to the federal grant for the $3 million needed to launch the "next-generation maritime technology" that will aggregate real-time data in order to streamline port operations and improve safety and harbor maintenance. "With the SmartPort initiative, Louisiana is taking a major leading role in bringing technological efficiencies to maritime commerce," Edwards said. "Louisianans are keenly aware of the vital role the Mississippi River plays in our history, our economic successes and our future. This grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration is an affirmation that they too understand the role that safe, efficient river-based transportation plays in the broader U.S. economy.
