The Delaware River Port Authority is planning to allocate money for a new cancer center and other projects.
The port authority unveiled the plan Monday to spend the last $29.9 million remaining in its economic development money.
The authority has pledged to spend money in the future only on transportation projects. But it had the money left over in an economic development fund.
The biggest portion -- $10 million -- is to go to future capital projects such as bridge repairs.
A cancer center being built at Cooper University Hospital is in line to get $6 million, unspecified development programs in Camden are to get $4.3 million and the Food Bank of South Jersey is to get $2 million.
The DRPA board is scheduled to vote on the spending Wednesday.
