Bus Tour navigated by The Port: The Port’s neighborhood revitalization strategy encompasses building commercial corridors to complement residential development. Through our commercial strategy, we acquire, assemble, and remediate commercial structures and land to facilitate new businesses and the retention and expansion of commercial operations. We do this by unlocking access to capital and delivering development-ready sites so residents have the amenities they need from microenterprises and small businesses built by entrepreneurs in the neighborhood.
