Washington, D.C.-The American Association of Port Authorities (AAPA) welcomed nearly $40 million in federal funds the nation's ports were awarded through the Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) program. "Investing in America's seaports is critical because estimates show their long-term return on investment is significant, bringing in $2 or as much as $3 for every single dollar spent," AAPA President and CEO Chris Connor said. AAPA singled out the $5 million PortMiami received to complete portions of a critical master plan to continue its Net Zero program and the $3 million received by the Puerto Rico Port Authority to fund a feasibility study and other preparatory initiatives released for the improvement of Avenue C, a critical roadway link and the only connection to the port's eastern wharves. |
