2022 brought the culmination of a long-awaited dream of the Jacksonville Port Authority, with the $420 million harbor deepening project officially wrapping up in May.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers deepened the 11-mile channel from the Atlantic Ocean to the Blount Island Marine Terminal, which ultimately created and protected thousands of jobs in trucking, distribution and warehousing.
