The Port of Long Beach is seeking input on its Community Grants Program with a virtual workshop that will be held from 1-2:30 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 15.
Input is sought from those who live near the port or its trade corridors.
The more than $65 million program — the largest effort in the nation to lessen impacts of port operations on surrounding areas, according to port officials — establishes funding priorities and is looking forward to 2025-27 with the feedback it receives.
Attendance at the online workshop is limited to 100.

The Community Grants Program supports efforts that have focused on expanding asthma services, controlling stormwater runoff through the building of permeable parking lots, and creating open space buffers between port operations and communities.
To date, $50.6 million has been committed.
Registration for the workshop is now available in advance. Translation services will be available.
