Working Waterfront

摘要

Strategic Port As U.S. naval forces rebalance to the Pacific region, an additional 19 ships are expected to join the 60 currently homeported in San Diego by 2020. 1. As the number of San Diego-based ships increases, so will the need to be able to take care of them. 2. The military and defense presence, including the shipbuilding and repair business, currently brings $32 billion to the region and is responsible for 22 percent of all jobs there. 3. Because of their prime waterfront locations, maritime-related businesses are facing increasing pressure from real estate developers looking to rezone the area for condos and apartments.
