The Biden administration is awarding nearly $3 billion to boost climate-friendly equipment and infrastructure at ports across the country, including Baltimore, post a deadly bridge collapse.
The grants, totaling $3 billion, will support electrification and enhance infrastructure at 55 sites nationwide, aiming to create 40,000 union jobs while combating pollution.
Funds for the Maryland Port Administration include $147 million to purchase cargo-handling equipment, transitioning the port to zero greenhouse gas emissions and supporting over 2,000 jobs.
These grants reflect the administration's commitment to environmental justice and are a part of the largest clean energy investment in U.S. history, stemming from the 2022 climate law.
