The United States Government recently provided the Wilmington Port with $18 million in order to enhance and modernize the port yard. This new funding is a part of the Biden-Harris Administrations Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) program. Six other projects also received funding as a part of the program, coming to a grand total of nearly $60.2 million.

The department of transportation says that their goal is to help modernize all US ports, bridges, roads, and other methods of transportation.

According to NC Ports, the new port should be operating by 2025.
