Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro announced plans to expand the Port of Philadelphia Tuesday morning.
Shapiro and PennDOT officials were in South Philadelphia outlining plans that they say will expand PhilaPort to help the state grow as a global trade leader.
Back in April, Philadelphia became a cruise port again after a 15-year hiatus. Leaders estimate that the cruise port could generate $300 million in annual economic output for Pennsylvania.
In a press release, the Shapiro administration said it sees PhilaPort as a vital economic engine for the Commonwealth and that it will create thousands of jobs statewide.
