Tradepoint Atlantic, a 3300-acre global logistics center, remains open because it is south of the Key Bridge site.

Tom speaks with Mary Kane, the CEO of the Maryland Chamber of Commerce and Dr. Christina DePasquale, an associate professor of practice in economics at the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School about the impact of the bridge collapse on area businesses, non-profits and the labor market.
