The Port will be home to multiple factories that will build the necessary components for offshore wind turbines.

At full build-out, the Port will support up to 1,500 permanent, high-quality manufacturing, assembly, and operations jobs. Construction will start in 2021 and will create hundreds of jobs.

Overall, the Port is expected to support up to $500 million of new economic activity within the State and the region each year.
