Construction is expected to start soon for the new agricultural export terminal in the Port of Milwaukee. The $35 million dollar project is designed to handle various products from Wisconsin and Midwest farmers like dried distillers goods, corn, soybeans, and grain.
According to Cooperative Network, the redevelopment is the largest in the port's history and is being funded through a U.S. DOT Port Infrastructure Development Program grant, as well as public and private partnerships.
In January 2020, storms and high lake levels brought damaging floods, causing millions in damages and the pandemic forced officials to make changes to operations.
The project is expected to be completed and fully-operational before the international shipping season of April 2023.
