Cleveland Cuyahoga County Port Authority

The Cleveland Cuyahoga County Port Authority is a local government-owned entity registered in SAM.gov since 2002, operating as a critical maritime transportation hub on the Great Lakes. Located in Cleveland, Ohio, the port authority plays a significant role in regional infrastructure development, freight movement, and environmental sustainability initiatives. As a U.S. local government entity, the port authority has been actively engaged in receiving federal grants that support infrastructure improvements, environmental upgrades, and transportation efficiency.

Through federal grant awards, the Cleveland Cuyahoga County Port Authority has executed multiple significant projects across different federal agencies. The U.S. Department of Transportation's Maritime Administration has been a primary funding source, awarding two substantial grants: a $34,029,639 Port Infrastructure Development Program grant in January 2024 for comprehensive port modernization, and an $11 million block grant in May 2021 for dock and rail infrastructure reconstruction. The Environmental Protection Agency Region 5 also provided a $727,815 Diesel Emissions Reduction Act grant to replace an older wheel loader with a more environmentally friendly model, demonstrating the port's commitment to reducing diesel emissions. These grants have supported critical activities including warehouse modernization, electrical infrastructure upgrades, stormwater enhancement, dock reconstruction, equipment replacement, and environmental sustainability initiatives. The port authority has also received sub-grant awards from the Ohio Department of Transportation, further expanding its collaborative infrastructure development efforts across state and federal levels.
