Overview

• The largest single withdrawal is $427 million for a planned Humboldt County, California terminal meant to stage floating offshore turbines.
• Other rescinded awards include $48 million for an offshore wind port on Staten Island, $39 million for a port near Norfolk, Virginia, and $20 million for a marine terminal in Paulsboro, New Jersey.
• Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the administration will shift the money to "real infrastructure" to rebuild U.S. shipbuilding and bolster other port upgrades.
• The canceled grants were approved under the Biden administration to expand staging and assembly capacity for offshore wind projects.
• The decision is described by the administration as part of a broader redirection of resources away from wind development, with DOT saying funds will be redirected to maritime priorities where possible.
