The Georgia Ports Authority Board has approved an additional 50 acres of pavement to handle the growing volume of trade at the Colonel’s Island Terminal.
This grant will support the construction of a new elevated Berth 10 bulkhead system aimed at shielding the port’s uplands from flooding and damage caused by rising sea levels.
The project aims to better understand how commercial port operators use information technology and operational technology systems and the resiliency of these systems.
Nearly 39 million people in the U.S. live within three miles of a port, many of whom are people of color and live at or below the national median household income.
