Port Authority Set To Receive Money From County

Now that a contract has been reached between the Port Authority and its employee's Allegheny County will release 27.5 million dollars in funds it had been with holding. The money will enable the Port Authority to continue receiving matching state funds and allows the Authority to operate through the fiscal year which ends in June of 2009. PAT CEO Steve Bland said the money is crucial to the day to day operations of the Authority but for it to last into the future they need to become more efficient and effective in their business operations.
