The government agency has doubled its annual financial commitment to offset impacts in communities adjacent to marine terminals and shipyards
The government agency that controls San Diego's industrial waterfront is seeking to be a better neighbor to people who live just east of its marine terminals and shipyards. Tuesday, the Board of Port Commissioners for the San Diego Unified Port District voted unanimously to double its annual contribution to what's known as the Maritime Industrial Impact Fund and expand the fund's purpose to include electrification projects.
6 million on 11 different projects, according to information presented to board members. The agency, for instance, paid $488,165 for air filters for Perkins K-8 School in Barrio Logan, contributed $400,000 to National City's free, zero-emission shuttle program and allocated $900,000 for a portion of the Bayshore Bikeway in National City. Tuesday's board approval ups the agency's contribution to the fund to 4 percent.
