"It was a pleasure to work with both Port and DOT officials to secure this extremely competitive and highly sought-after grant. These funds will be instrumental in helping the Port strategically enhance our nation's freight mobility capabilities.

"The Port of Beaumont continues to play a critical role in not only our state's economy, but the U.S. and global economies as well. It's a privilege to represent this vital Port, and I will continue working in the U.S. Congress to ensure it always has the funding and resources necessary in order to succeed."
