A new study has shown that maritime and industrial operations at Indiana's three ports contribute $8.2 billion per year, a 5 percent increase from the last report, support 51,000 jobs and generate more than $552 million in state and local tax dollars. The economic impact study was announced June 24. It is completed every five years. The data gathered was based on 2019 data measuring jobs, income, business revenue and economic output. The study was conducted by Martin Associates. "Maritime plays a large part in our state's economy," Ports of Indiana CEO Vanta E. Coda Ⅱ said. "2021 looks to be another strong year, and we hope to see international shipments grow. Transpor- tation is all about bigger, better, faster; that's always our goal." |
