“There will always be ebbs and flows month-to-month, but we’re pleased with the steady increase in tonnage totals as the season advances,” said Dean Haen, Port of Green Bay director. “Key commodities are moving at a healthy pace, and if current trends hold, we anticipate closing the season on par with recent years.”
