The Port will be providing a matching share of $10 million, making the total project cost for the hotel wharf rehabilitation at $20 million.
Guam – The Port Authority of Guam Hotel or “H” Wharf will be undergoing a major makeover thanks to $10 million dollars from TIGER Grant.
According to a release, the Port will be upgrading or rebuilding the 500-foot structure to accommodate berthing space for passenger or cruise ships, research vessels, commercial activities, import of vehicles and fishing activities. Another objective is for the “H” Wharf to become the 16th Strategic Seaport in the U.S. providing additional berthing space for US Military operations. Port General Manager Joanne Brown says the wharf was built in 1948 and since then, it has not been utilized properly. The Port will be providing a matching share of $10 million, making the total project cost for the hotel wharf rehabilitation at $20 million.
