An official in Eastern PA says the state has been able to weather the supply chain storm so far.
Dominic O’Brien is with the Port of Philadelphia and he says a $300 million investment in 2016 is helping the current situation.
“All of this has allowed us to serve the Commonwealth and the nation during these difficult times by handling record cargo volumes including large quantities of medicines, medical devices, fresh fruits and vegetables, and forest products used for personal hygiene consumer goods,” O’Brien said.
However, O’Brien said that other nearby states have put billions into their ports, and Pennsylvania needs to invest more to keep pace.
“Those resources gave us the facilities and equipment we needed to coem through the current global supply chain crisis and to create great jobs for Pennsylvanians,” O’Brien said. “But, we will need additional state and federal capital dollars to build the infrastructure of tomorrow.”
O’Brien said this at a hearing with the House Transportation Committee.
