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