Port of Savannah officials have their hands full with an ambitious deepening project, but they’re also watching how the transportation funding debate plays out in the Georgia General Assembly. Communities pushing industrial sites for economic development might lose out if they don’t have adequate road networks “to get to those primary arteries in and out of our ports,” said James McCurry Jr., government affairs director for the Georgia Ports Authority. “It’s the roads in between and the mix in commercial and commuter traffic where those investments in roadways are so important,” he said.
