Its kind of no brainer. Jasper terminal would be signifigantly closer to the ocean than Savannah. SCPA is very against allowing private companies to invade their turf, even if it causes the state billions. Privatley operated terminals are much more effcient than Govt operated terminals and much more profitable. They also pay taxes.

The only way Jasper will have its port is if Nikki Haley finds a way to sell the county to Georgia.

Amen. Also, there is no politically powerful group or person in that area of South Carolina to champion the concept. Georgia’s governor played our Governor like a violin.

Is it not true that the Jasper site can never be developed as a port until four feet of fill (dredging spoils?) has been deposited?

If I owned a shipping company I would rather have my ships travel some 60 miles round trip up a narrow channel than dropping their cargo off at a port a few miles up channel

If I owned a shipping company I would offer Mande Wilkes one million dollars just for a peek of her tata’s
