Last Friday, Congresswoman Julia Brownley announced that the U.S. Economic Development Administration (EDA) has awarded the Port of Hueneme over $5 million to make critical long-term infrastructure improvements and dredge a berth at the port, which will enable container vessels to load heavier with cargo at each visit.

Once completed, the project will modernize the wharf and pier structure to mitigate seismic risks and climate resiliency, while creating jobs and strengthening the regional economy.
