Explanation
(This amendment provides full funding of $18,174,500 from the general fund for the deepening of the Norfolk Harbor to a depth of 50 feet. By providing this funding, the construction can be accelerated, allowing the ports in the Commonwealth of Virginia to be able to accommodate 6,000 TEU commercial cargo ships at least two years earlier than any other East Coast port.)
