“Today the Port of Philadelphia is the fastest growing container port on the U.S. East Coast, and this new distribution center is an important step to improve port facilities and bring more traffic to the port,” Wolf said in a video message that aired during a live-streaming of the groundbreaking ceremony.

Bringing good jobs to the port
Work has officially begun on a new $42 million distribution center within a mile of the Packer Avenue Marine Terminal.
PhilaPort officially broke ground on the 201,621-square-foot warehouse on March 4 near 3rd Street and Pattison Avenue, and the new facility is expected to create more than 200 jobs for the local economy.
“The commonwealth’s $300 million investment in the port has given PhilaPort the tools it needs to improve its competitive position and create more family-sustaining middle-class jobs that are needed now more than ever,” Mayor Jim Kenney said at the windy groundbreaking ceremony.
