Middle, West Georgia See Promise from Savannah Harbor Upgrades
Wednesday, July 16th, 2014
The Savannah harbor expansion project is expected to bring so much new business that community leaders in Macon and West Georgia aren’t willing to wait patiently for improvements in the highway corridor connecting them to the port.
They are pushing state transportation officials and lobbying politicians to begin the initial studies into how the existing roads between Macon and LaGrange, where Kia Motors has a plant, can be enhanced so the communities along the way won’t miss out on the benefits of port expansion. It could also help Savannah take freight from Alabama ports.
