摘要：	The Port of New Orleans (Port NOLA) received an early Christmas present from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), with the announcement of a $73.77 million grant for the port's planned Louisiana International Terminal (LIT) project in St. Bernard Parish. The U.S. DOT will award the funding as part of its MEGA Grant Program, authorized under the National Infrastructure Project Assistance program, which was part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). The MEGA Grant funds will go toward the first phase of LIT, a project that will bring a new container terminal to the Lower Mississippi River community of Violet, La. The $1.8 billion project, planned to come online in 2028, has already received funding support from Port NOLA, the state of Lou- isiana and private industry partners. According to the Port of New Orleans, more than a dozen ports in six states, along with major trade and agriculture associations throughout middle America, have expressed support for LIT.
