GA, SC meet over shared port on Savannah River
By RUSS BYNUM
Associated Press
Tuesday, March 8, 2011
SAVANNAH, Ga. — Port officials from Georgia and South Carolina are meeting
to discuss concerns over the future of a proposed $500 million shipping
terminal on the Savannah River that both states have worked on since 2007.
The meeting Tuesday in Savannah is the first between the states’ port
chiefs since South Carolina ports chairman Bill Stern wrote a letter last
month saying Georgia’s plans for deepening the Savannah harbor would harm
efforts to build a shared port in Jasper County, S.C.
Stern wrote that he sees no reason to keep spending money on the Jasper
County project unless Georgia agrees to change its deepening proposal.
Georgia port chairman Alec Poitevint, who serves with Stern on the joint
port’s two-state board, says the Savannah harbor deepening won’t harm any
plans for Jasper County.
