On Friday, the Delaware Gov. John Carney joined U.S. Sens. Tom Carper and Chris Coons, and U.S. Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester (all D-DE) to announce the state had been awarded $50 million in federal grants to expand the Port of Wilmington.
The funding, from the Port Infrastructure Development Program (PIDP) will go to the Diamond State Port Corporation for the Port of Wilmington’s Edgemoor terminal expansion. A discretionary grant made possible by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and administered by the U.S. Maritime Administration, the funds are designed to improve safety, efficiency or reliability of the movement of goods into, out of and around or within a port.
