The strategic plan is aimed at maintaining Los Angeles' distinction as the nation's busiest port by developing infrastructure projects, growing market share and advancing technology, according to David Mathewson, director of planning and economic development for the port.
“There’s something there for everybody in the sense that it’s a good economic plan for the growth of the port and its a heck of a plan for our social responsibility to give back to the American people as an institution,” Harbor Commissioner David Arian said.
“I think a lot of people can buy into this plan where it’s not going to be based on some ideological position to the left or the right.”
