California has announced an investment of more than $1.5bn which would enhance the operations of several ports in the US state.
Around $1.2bn will fund 15 projects creating an estimated 20,000 jobs and increasing the capacity to move goods throughout the state’s global trade gateways while lessening environmental impacts on neighbouring communities.
Projects receiving funding will help boost capacity to move goods through the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach – the busiest ports in the Western Hemisphere – as well as enhance all major trade centres throughout the state – from San Diego to the Central Valley to the Bay Area.
