ENGINE OF GROWTH THRU 2040 – PHILADELPHIA’S PORT’S BRIGHT FUTURE
Ports are vital assets for any region, serving as essential gateways for international trade and a linchpin in the regional supply chain. They support one in every 8 American jobs and contribute $2.9 trillion to the U.S. GDP. Philadelphia’s port is setting new milestones to support a rosy future for our region. What does this mean for shippers? What kinds of expanded supply chain career opportunities will this lead to?
