This Project Grant award of $141,000,000 was provided by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Maritime Administration under the Port Infrastructure Development Program (CFDA 20.823). The funding will be used by the City of Salem, Massachusetts to redevelop a vacant industrial facility into a heavy lift marine terminal capable of supporting energy projects. Key project elements include:
- Construction of a 700-foot long wharf and bulkhead to handle oversized and heavy cargoes, including installation of steel pilings, sheet piling, and a concrete wharf deck
- Improvements to approximately 23 acres of adjacent uplands to create a laydown area for loadout and assembly activities
- Site preparation work such as demolition, excavation, grading, and utility installations
The project aims to enhance the safety, efficiency, and reliability of maritime goods movement through infrastructure upgrades at the port facility. The Maritime Administration award has an ultimate completion date of November 1, 2032.
