Trade is a fundamental part of growing Michigan’s economy and creating good paying jobs. Investments supporting trade infrastructure, like the Port of Monroe, are critical to support and connect the state’s agricultural supply chain. The Port of Monroe is the industrial, commercial, and recreational gateway to the City of Monroe and is the state’s only Port on Lake Erie. Today, MDARD Director Tim Boring and Ambassador Doug McKalip, Chief Agriculture Negotiator for the U.S. Trade Representative, joined port officials to tour it and discuss federal, state, and local port infrastructure investments facilitating increased agricultural exports through the port as the Port of Monroe aims to expand opportunities for Michigan agriculture.
