This is an important article for many reasons.  If you haven't heard, the Panama Canal is being widened to accommodate more and larger cargo ships.  Florida ports are future targets for this increased cargo traffic. The Port of Miami is also going through major improvements to handle this traffic.  The Lake Worth inlet is being examined for dredging to accommodate more and larger vessels.  Linkages to the port and inland terminals will be important.  A rail line to the west will take pressure off of the coastal rail lines, which will have increased passenger service options.  This is expected to have a great economic impact to our region.  Click title for link.
