More port projects on the way to support future growth

N.C. Ports’ container business has grown 61 percent, year over year to date, according to Paul Cozza, executive director of N.C. Ports.

To keep up with that growth, Cozza said port officials are looking into additional projects, including deepening the Cape Fear River and upgrading its container yard. The projects were part of the updates Cozza shared at a luncheon Friday hosted by the N.C. Foreign Trade Promotion Council.
