	The Port Is Back & Better Than Ever 2010 was a record year for the Port. Total tonnage of cargo handled at the port facilities exceeded 4.8 million tons. In 2006 the St. Bernard Port spent $8 million to rebuild infrastructure. Roads, warehouses and sewerage facilities were improved while increasing tonnage and ship visits. Investments of $10 million in 2007 added conveyors and the rebuilding of the industrial park facilities and office space. Additional investments of $30 million in 2008 will rehabilitate Berth D of the Chalmette Slip, construct a 72,000 square foot facility to relocate the LISCO lumber company, build a 42,500 square foot transit shed and build a new structure that will house the Port’s administrative and security operations. The goal is to continue to attract larger ships and create more jobs and economic prosperity for the residents of St. Bernard. The Port’s original $75,000 investment in 1982 has grown to over $100 million in intermodal assets today. The earnings impact since 1999 is over $300 million.
