The San Pedro Bay ports will get millions of federal dollars from a maintenance tax overseen but the Army Corps of Engineers.
The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach will receive more than $112 million combined through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Work Plan for construction upgrades, operations and maintenance.
The funds, he added, will pay for “crucial upgrades” that will bolster global supply chains and “make long overdue repairs.” The Port of L.A. expects to receive $58 million in federal funding while the Port of Long Beach is in line to receive $54 million to support approximately 31 miles of waterfront facilities.
Los Angeles harbor commission President Lucille Roybal-Allard, who formerly served in Congress, expressed gratitude for the support in passing the funding. Long Beach Mayor Rex Richardson, for his part, said the funding will help grow his city’s economy even further. The Port of L.A. estimates the total need for navigation maintenance and repair projects to be $6.7 million. In addition to dredging, pending projects include seismic safety upgrades, wharf and fender repairs, pile replacements, sediment removal and remediation, and improvements to slips and channels.
