The U.S. Department of Transportation's Maritime Administration awarded the Port of Monroe, a U.S. local government entity and port authority, a $14,160,606.25 grant under the Port Infrastructure Development Program (CFDA 20.823) on May 20, 2024. The grant will fund a comprehensive infrastructure rehabilitation and expansion project at the Port of Monroe. Key project components include:
Replacing and reinforcing the existing riverfront wharf, constructing a new riverfront wharf for wind energy cargo transfer, reinforcing shoreline stabilization, rehabilitating the concrete dock in the turning basin, installing new bollards and fencing, replacing failed sheet pile, and constructing a new small boat slip for harbor assist vessels. Additionally, the project will remove existing overhead lines and provide shore power to the riverfront wharfs. These improvements aim to increase the port's capacity for handling various types of cargo, improve efficiency in managing bulk materials and steel products, enhance responsiveness to climate-related weather events, and strengthen overall port operations and security.
