Senator Katie Britt Applauds $6.95 Million Grant Awarded to Port of Chickasaw for Rehabilitation Project

WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-Ala.) is applauding the award of a $6,954,000 Port Infrastructure Development Program grant for the Port of Chickasaw.  This funding will rehabilitate docking structures and construct a new bulkhead along both sides of an existing slip at the port. “The Port of Chickasaw is integral to the operations of the Alabama State Port Authority and the Port of Mobile, which is why I have continued working with the City of Chickasaw to get this accomplished over the past several years,” said Senator Britt. “I’m thrilled this grant has been awarded under Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy, and I thank him for his leadership in recognizing the importance of this project. Given the Port of Mobile’s rapid growth and critical importance to U.S. commerce, modernizing the Port of Chickasaw’s infrastructure to support the deepest container port in the Gulf of America will greatly benefit the local, regional, and our national economy.” Senator Britt has advocated for the Port of Chickasaw to receive this grant funding since 2023. ###
