Officials from the Port of New Orleans (Port NOLA) are celebrating the commitment of $96.5 million for port-related projects from the 2022 regular session of the Louisiana State Legislature. The funding will benefit a wide range of projects at the port's Napoleon Avenue Container Terminal and the Jourdan Road Cold Storage Terminal, along with roadway projects in Orleans and St. Bernard parishes. "On behalf of the board of commissioners of the Port of New Orleans, we thank Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards, legislative leadership and our delegation members from Orleans, Jefferson and St. Bernard parishes for their vision and support," said Brandy Christian, president and CEO of the Port of New Orleans and CEO of the New Orleans Public Belt Railroad. "Together, these projects will position Port NOLA to take full advantage of current cargo opportunities, including serving as an alternative gateway to the West Coast, while preparing infrastructure to meet the needs of tomorrow." |
