Savannah lands a major employer.

http://savannahnow.com/news/2009-09-22/mitsubishi-power-systems-build-pooler-megasite "For its part, Georgia delivered all the items on Mitsubishi's list, Perdue said: a skilled and deep labor pool, easy access to the ports and interstates, and the ideal site to facilitate the company's global growth and expansion." Arguably, between retired Navy technical types and some former mill workers of working age, we, too, have a pool (albeit not as deep as Savannah's) of skilled labor. That pool should (or could) get much deeper when the local campus of Okefenokee Technical College is built in the near future ( or is it Altamaha Technical College - I forget). Clearly, we have "easy access to ports and interstates." Our time will come.

I think it will be surprisingly soon. I just hope we can beat back the attempts of the St. Marys EarthKeeepers to keep any manufacturer out of Camden's "fragile environment."
"Flatwoods salamander" my ass!
