Baltimore's Francis Scott Key Bridge World Lens by WTCI

    • Business News

In this week's episode of World Lens, we are zooming in on Baltimore and the tragedy of the Francis Scott Key bridge collapse. We know this is still a fresh wound for many, as we are only a few days removed from the catastrophic event, and our hearts go out to all those families still experiencing the day's agony.

Still, we felt it was necessary to discuss the various impacts this has on the future of Baltimore's economy. With the Port of Baltimore suspending operations, what's to come of the 140,000 people who depend on it for their livelihoods? What will happen with the businesses that use the port to connect and distribute to the rest of the country?

Listen in as we sit down with Peter Bowe, Publisher of DredgeWire, a leading digital newspaper for people in the maritime, dredging, and related industries, and former CEO of Ellicott Dredges, to gain some insight on the economic ramifications to the state and all who rely on the Port of Baltimore.
