Buttigieg to visit Port of Baltimore on Thursday to tout Biden's infrastructure deal
U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg will visit the Port of Baltimore on Thursday to tout the benefits of President Joe Biden’s $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure deal, which will provide billions for port and waterway upgrades.
Buttigieg will join Sen. Chris Van Hollen, Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan and Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott for a 2:30 p.m. tour of Seagirt Marine Terminal, the port’s bustling container terminal, and Dundalk Marine Terminal, the port’s largest general cargo facility.
The secretary will then speak about the Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework’s investment in U.S. port infrastructure and “the Biden administration’s focus on alleviating temporary supply chain disruptions” in a 3 p.m. news conference, according to a Wednesday news release.
“Secretary Buttigieg is scheduled to take a tour, meet with port officials and workers, and deliver remarks,” the U.S. Department of Transportation said in a news release.
