On Friday afternoon, Gov. Rick Scott announced PortMiami had finished its dredging project to ready for larger vessels heading to the Atlantic seaboard after the expansion of the Panama Canal is completed.<\/div>\n

The state had invested $112 million in the project after a federal shortfall of $77 million on the project.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did not wait on the federal government to fund this important project,\u201d Scott said on Friday. \u201cWe stepped up because we want Florida to be a global leader in trade and it\u2019s exciting to see the completion of this project. Even more exciting, is the 33,000 jobs this project will create for families. This week, we also learned that Florida is home to four of the country\u2019s 10 fastest growing ports, and it\u2019s certain that the investment in PortMiami\u2019s infrastructure has better positioned our entire state for continued growth. The completion of the PortMiami deep dredge is historic for all of Florida as PortMiami officially becomes the only major global trade hub south of Virginia capable of handling bigger, more modern post-Panamax ships.\u201d<\/p>\n

Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez noted the county invested $108 million in the project.<\/p>\n

“The completion of the deep dredge and the intermodal on-dock rail project are a major milestone not only for Miami-Dade County and PortMiami, but for all of Florida because the entire Sunshine State will benefit from increased trade opportunities once the expanded Panama Canal opens in 2016,\u201d Gimenez said. \u201cI thank Gov. Rick Scott, our state legislators, county commissioners and all who advocated for these critical projects. The completion of both projects ensures that PortMiami will remain competitive in the global marketplace.”<\/p>\n

Lieutenant Governor Carlos Lopez-Cantera said, \u201cI am proud to celebrate this historic day at PortMiami. By investing in Florida\u2019s ports, we are ensuring that businesses have the transportation infrastructure needed to grow and succeed in our state. I would like to thank everyone involved in PortMiami\u2019s continued development which will bring thousands of new jobs to hardworking Florida families.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
