Morganfield replied without expression, "Go on."
Leo began to succinctly lay out the core concept of the "Pittsburgh Inland Port Expansion Plan" from Ethan's policy white paper.
"Mr. Morganfield, Pittsburgh sits on three prime waterways. This is our city's greatest innate advantage."
"But over the past few decades, our port facilities have aged severely, our transport efficiency is low, and we have fallen behind our competitors in the Great Lakes Region."
"My plan is simple: through a large-scale modernization and upgrade, we will re-establish Pittsburgh as the most important inland logistics hub in the Ohio River Valley Region."
"We will dredge the river channels to accommodate larger cargo ships. We will fully upgrade all dock facilities and introduce the most advanced automated container handling systems. We will also build a dedicated freight rail line directly connecting to the port, achieving seamless integration between water and rail transport."
