Wisconsin Commercial Ports Development Initiative: Strategic Development to Grow

The National Center for Freight and Infrastructure Research and Education (CFIRE)-led team assessed Wisconsin's commercial port infrastructure, the current and potential port markets, and related freight and maritime policies, planning and programs. This information was then combined with input and direction from the state’s port leadership, industries, agencies and the logistics sector. Combined, the assessments and stakeholder input are then used to create a strategic action plan to attract sustainable markets, encourage community development, and direct policy and programs in support of the state’s ports, communities and overall economy.
