Yesterday the White House released a video in which Vice President Joe Biden discussed why investment in port infrastructure is important to the U.S. economy.
In order to more efficiently accommodate massive post-Panamax ships, the U.S. must widen and deepen many of its channels and harbors, Biden said.
Biden explained that Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grants have channeled federal transportation funding directly to 38 port projects in 22 states designed to increase efficiency and grow the economy.
