# Infrastructure Investment Survey

**Purpose**

The purpose of the *Infrastructure Investment Survey of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway System* is to provide the maritime community, policy makers, and the general public with information on the level of investments being made in the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Seaway navigation system. Quantifying these investments supports long term planning and the achievement of economic development goals, while also building confidence in the future viability of the navigation system.

**Results**

The survey, which reported $8.4 billion in infrastructure investments between 2018-2027, identifies specific categories of investment including:
                      - $636 million invested in vessel enhancements between 2018 and 2022 for new ships and vessel upgrades, with at least another $328 million planned between 2023 and 2027.
                      - $2.1 billion invested to enhance port and terminal infrastructure between 2018 and 2022, with at least another $1.1 billion planned between 2023 and 2027.
                      - $3 billion invested in waterway infrastructure, including locks, breakwaters, and navigation channels, between 2018-2022, with at least another $1.2 billion planned between 2023 and 2027.
