Indiana HCR0009 urges collaboration to extend the Great Lakes–St. Lawrence Seaway navigation season to boost Indiana's economy, exports, and jobs.

Indiana HCR0009 calls for a collaborative effort among relevant agencies and stakeholders to explore extending the Great Lakes–St. Lawrence Seaway navigation season. This extension aims to advance Indiana’s economic prosperity, grow exports, and support Hoosier jobs. The resolution highlights the economic impact of Indiana’s ports and maritime industry, which generates nearly $30 billion annually and supports over 158,000 jobs. The current three-month closure of the shipping channel disrupts supply chains and limits growth.
