Every day, people throughout the region are able to enjoy goods because they came through the Port of New York and New Jersey — but the port’s influence does not stop there. Beyond paving the way for competitively priced goods, we consider it our responsibility to provide an improved quality of life for our surrounding port communities. For some residents, the benefits are financial — our port supports high-quality waterfront jobs that generate $9.4 billion a year in personal income. For the benefit of every one, we balance the vital economic asset of every action taken at our port with the environmental needs of the land on which our facilities are located and the communities that we serve.
