| 摘要： | The Little Rock (Ark.) Port Authority announced February 7 that it was awarded a $570,000 grant from the Department of Homeland Security/Federal Emergency Management Agency to upgrade its security camera system throughout the growing port area. These funds will allow the port to improve safety for the industry partners and the 7,000 individuals who work at one of the businesses located at the port.Since the development of its 2015 strategic plan, the Little Rock Port Authority team has been aggressively pursuing grants, specifically the highly competitive federal grants. The port has received nearly $10 million in state and federal grants."City, county, state and federal money have all gone into building the Port of Little Rock," said Bryan Day, executive director of the Little Rock Port Authority, "and we hope Congress will continue to invest heavily in port and rail infrastructure spending so that we can continue to add value to Central Arkansas. The return on the public s investment is great- a 2020 study on the five-year impact of spending in the port estimated an overall economic impact of $1 billion, with a $462 million impact on GDP, $269 million on labor incomes and a $367 million impact on taxes." |
