The Long Beach City Council voted unanimously this week to approve an $858 million budget for the Port of Long Beach for the upcoming fiscal year, with a large percentage of the budget being dedicated to modernizing and improving the Port.

The Harbor Department, which manages and develops the Port, plans to spend $579 million of the budget on capitol projects, which include the ongoing Desmond Bridge Replacement Project and the redevelopment of the Middle Harbor Terminal.
