SUMMARY:2023 Port Grants Economics Roundtable Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Purpose of the Meeting  \nOver the past few years\, many ports in the region have discussed they are confused about the use of  benefit-cost analysis for various grant programs. After seeing several of the NOAA Economic courses and  reviewing both the MARAD Port Toolkit\, the DOT Benefit-Cost Analysis\, various NOFOwebinars\, etc.\, and  USACE Planning Materials\, there seems to be a need for an integrated program that discusses the nexus  among these agencies to assist in port/waterfront development.   \nDate  \n\nThe meeting will be held Tuesday\, December 12\, and Wednesday\, December 13.  \nVisits to the 5 lower Mississippi Ports may be arranged direct with them directly either on  Monday\, December 11 or Thursday\, December 14.  \n\nLocation and Logistics  \n\nThe seminar will be held at the Port of South Louisiana’s new headquarters.
