Bill hanson great lakes dredge10/13/2023 “Ports are key to Florida’s global trade strategy,” said Bill Hanson, Vice President of Government Relations and Business Development, Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Corporation (GLDD). A recent Florida Ports Council analysis found that Florida ports created $96 billion in economic value, accounting for more than 1 in 10 of every dollar of Florida GDP. The state’s $850 million investment in ports will go a long way to increasing merchandise trade through Florida’s 15 deep water seaports. Since May is World Trade Month in Florida, it’s the perfect time to focus on how to expand the state’s reach into global markets and help create the more than 550,000 new jobs tied to trade projected over the next 5 years. Every Florida industry can benefit from trade with international markets. It’s not just shippers and manufacturers taking part in this opportunity. Florida companies that have global trade as part of their strategy earn 30 percent more and pay their employees one-third more than the average wage.
