WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, Congressman Troy A. Carter, Sr. (D-La.) announced that the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) will grant $73,779,805 to the Port of New Orleans Louisiana International Terminal Project to build a new container terminal in St. Bernard Parish along the Mississippi River. This funding was made possible through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law which Congressman Carter helped craft and voted for. 

“The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is bringing critical investments in our water systems, roads, bridges, and broadband,” said Rep. Carter. “Louisiana continues to receive outsized benefits from this historic legislation which I championed. With this grant, the Port of New Orleans will be able to modernize and grow its operations for this century and ensure that it continues to be the economic driver for the entire region.”
