NEWS ARTICLES: (7/16) SPA approves Jasper land acquisition
Looking past a long-standing rivalry, the South Carolina State Ports
Authority on Tuesday approved joint acquisition of land that will become a
massive marine cargo terminal shared with Georgia.
The Georgia Ports Authority approved a similar resolution Monday.
The more than 1,500 acres of Jasper County land along the Savannah River
will cost the two states $5,000 per acre. Though in South Carolina, the
property belongs to the Georgia Department of Transportation.
A transfer is set for July 28.
"This is a historic kind of move here," SPA Chairman David Posek said
before the vote. "The faster we can get it moving, the better."
State port officials had to settle disagreements with both Georgia and
Jasper County before reaching the decision late last year to build the
terminal, which is expected to be functional in about a decade.
A group called the Jasper Ocean Terminal Joint Project Office, which
formed to move the project forward, will meet in coming weeks to plan the
next steps, Posek said. After the unanimous decision to approve the
acquisition, he congratulated the SPA board.
In other news, port officials reported a record number of cruise calls,
with 50 expected by the end of 2008, up from 44 in 2007. The Union Pier
terminal also experienced a record year for roll-on/roll-off cargo, with
exports alone up 40 percent.
