            <p>The Port of Seattle will receive a $20 million U.S. Department of Transportation grant that will help pay for marine terminal maintenance and upgrades, U.S. Sen. Patty Murray announced on Tuesday. The money will go toward a $66.1 million package of projects that is primarily aimed at improving Terminal 46, the busy cargo facility located south of downtown, just west of Safeco Field.According to an application the port submitted to DOT earlier this year, $14 million of the grant money will go toward dock repairs at the terminal. Another $3 million will go toward paving at the 82-acre facility. And the remaining $3 million will help cover the cost of extending the rails that the massive cranes at the terminal move along as they load and offload vessels. The grant was made through DOT's Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) program. In a statement released on Tuesday, Murray said: "This investment will provide a major boost to the Port’s efforts to lay down a strong foundation for long-term economic growth and job creation throughout the region." — B.L.</p>
