# Federal Grant

> The Saint Paul Port Authority will receive a $4.14 million Maritime Administration grant to rehabilitate a 1,316-foot dockwall at Barge Terminal Two on the Mississippi. The wall was built in 1964 and no longer matches modern barge sizes, creating a safety risk. The project is one of 25 nationwide awards from a $241 million grant pool.

## Why it matters

Repairs reduce the risk of dockwall failure that could disrupt barge handling at Saint Paul. The local impact on grain prices is minimal, though reliable upper-river barge service supports regional grain movement.
