San Diego Port Authority Discussing 2014-2018 Capital Improvement Plan

The Port of San Diego's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for FY 2014--2018 will be the subject of two upcoming meetings -- a public outreach meeting at 5:30 p.m. May 31 in the Port Authority building, and a board of commissioners workshop/special meeting at 8:30 a.m. June 7 at the Port Pavilion on Broadway Pier. Total spending in the last plan approached $100 million. The port authority has received proposals for 69 capital improvement projects. Some of the largest include $26 million for a land acquisition from the Navy and two separate gantry crane proposals totaling about $45 million.
