SUMMARY:
In 2022, the Port of Pensacola was awarded a U.S. Department of Homeland Security Port Security Grant. This awarded project was submitted by the Port of Pensacola for the Department of Innovation & Technology. The Department of Innovation & Technology’s Investment Justification is a cybersecurity project that includes the procurement of multiple software packages. Total project cost is $555,000 with a cost share of $138,750.
Since 2006, the Port has been awarded nearly $6 million in Federal grant funds on behalf of the Port as well as other City departments, including Pensacola Fire Department, Pensacola Police Department, Pensacola Energy and Technology Resources. Critical projects funded through the program to date have included replacement of the City’s antiquated telephone system with a Voice-over Internet Protocol (VoIP) system, replacement of the Englewood communications tower, purchase of the Fire Department’s fire boat, and purchase of a maritime fire training simulator for the Fire Department.
