Energy-Efficiency Projects Get $1.5 Million Boost from Port
LONG BEACH — Five Long Beach Unified School District campuses and two local churches will become more energy efficient through the Port of Long Beach Community Grants Program.
The Long Beach Harbor Commission voted Monday to approve the projects, which total almost $1.5 million. The schools — Jordan High, Jordan Plus, Poly Academy of Achievers and Learners, King Elementary, and Elizabeth Hudson Elementary — will use funding to install indoor LED lighting and sensors. First Congregational Church of Long Beach will upgrade the facility’s chiller boiler along with doors, insulation and indoor and outdoor lighting, while Pacific Baptist Church will install high performance windows and doors.

Port Launches Online Payment Portal
LONG BEACH—The Port of Long Beach has launched a new online customer payment portal, making it more convenient to pay fees like those for Clean Truck Program registration and permits for filming and special events, drone flights and other activities.
The Kubra EZPay POLB customer portal is designed to take payments using a customer’s credit card or bank account information. The portal can be found at https://tinyurl.com/POLB-customer-portal. Payments may still also be made by check or cashier’s check, as indicated in the instructions for each permit or registration application.
The customer portal is only for permit and registration fees; there are no changes to any other Port billing or payment procedures.
