This book provides a detailed description of state programs for port development. Using nine case studies that cover a spectrum of funding levels, the book provides a "menu" from which policymakers can select the types of financial assistance that would be most advantageous and appropriate for naking infrastructure improvements and for marketing port activities. The case studies include complete descriptions of the port development programs in California, Florida, Louisiana, Minnesota, and Oregon. Each case study provides background information, program specifics such as funding infrastructure improvement, equipment purchases, and dredging for new commercial navigation facilities, and a final section that outlines the lessons to be drawn. In addition, copies of the authorizing legislation for each program are included as appendixes, and a point of contact for each program has been listed for further information. This report is a continuation of two previous LBJ studies: The Texas Seaport and Inland Waterway System and Port-Related State Programs and Federal Legislative Issues.
