Commemorating the 80th Anniversary of the Georgia Ports Authority

Georgia's ports — centered on Savannah and Brunswick — support more than 609,000 jobs, generate $171 billion in annual business revenue, and contribute $5.3 billion in state and local tax revenue. Container traffic has grown 784 percent since 1995, making Savannah the fastest-growing port on the East and Gulf Coast. This resolution commemorates the Georgia Ports Authority's 80th anniversary and recognizes $3.2 billion in recent modernization investments, with another $4.5 billion planned over the next decade.
