Lets just hope the County will start allowing employment to come to the area. If not, as usual, this will impact Glynn County moreso than Camden

Yes, folks, for those of you who may be new to the areqa, the commenter's use of "Let's just hope the County will start ALLOWING employmnent to come to this area" is right on target. Hopefully, we can soon say that it WAS on target until the current JDA director came on board.

By the way, when that port addition is completed, Savannah should then easily be the largest container port on the east coast. You're looking at an annual multi-billion dollar impact.
