PHILADELPHIA- A state Senate committee Tuesday approved legislation paving the way for transfer of 180 acres from the city to the state for a new Southport Marine Terminal in South Philadelphia.
The measure will now go to the full Senate, likely on June 7, and to the House, which could vote as early as June 8. It is then expected to be signed by Gov. Ed Rendell, who has pledged up to $25 million for permitting, site preparation and utility infrastructure for Southport.
