The Biden administration is allocating nearly $3 billion to enhance climate-friendly equipment and infrastructure at ports nationwide, including Baltimore. This initiative follows a tragic bridge collapse in March that claimed the lives of six construction workers and disrupted shipping routes along the East Coast.
President Joe Biden is scheduled to visit Baltimore's main port to announce the grants, which aim to upgrade and electrify port infrastructure at 55 locations across the country. The funding is expected to support approximately 40,000 union jobs, reduce pollution, and address the climate crisis.
