Georgia Ports Authority approves rail, gate expansion projects

摘要

The Georgia Ports Authority (GPA) has approved rail and gate expansion work that is expected to boost capacity at the Garden City Terminal, which GPA notes is the largest container terminal in North America. The GPA Board approved the allocation of $42.27 million on Nov. 13 as part of the GPA's $128 million Mason Mega Rail Terminal project. The project is intended to expand the Port of Savannah's on-dock rail capacity by 100 percent and help Savannah, Ga., to increase service to inland markets from Memphis, Tenn., to Chicago.
