See Philadelphia Regional Port Authority Hosts First Meeting of Governor Wolf’s Port of Philadelphia Advisory Committee in News.

The PhilaPort Advisory Committee was established by Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf in December 2015.

Comprised of business, labor, and government officials selected by Governor Wolf, the PhilaPort Advisory Committee was formed to provide an effective, transparent forum to ensure an ongoing, substantive dialogue between PhilaPort and its stakeholders. As indicated by its title, the committee will be advisory in nature and will meet with PhilaPort Board Members and staff on a quarterly basis. Agenda items will include, among other topics, port strategic and real estate planning, macro maritime industry conditions, port infrastructure requirements, and the optimization of market opportunities.

The PhilaPort Advisory Committee will meet quarterly.
