Hey, Jenkins County.
Someone asked me this
past week if I knew
anything about the Jenkins
County airport. Of course I
did some investigating and
found out.
As you already know, the
Jenkins County (Millen)
Airport is located at 2548
US Highway 25 N, in
Millen, Georgia. Jenkins
County is the actual
owner of the airport. The
airport was established to
increase local and regional
transportation flexability.
This airport has been
a proven benefit to the
people and businesses in
the county.
The Jenkins County
Airport is an aviation
complex that consist of
runways for the take-off
and landing of aircraft as
well as aviation support
structures in Jenkins
County, GA. Depending
on airport size and air
traffic, support structures
at an airport in Jenkins
County include control
hangars, and maintenance
facilities. Recently, the
Jenkins County Airport has
expanded to include more
runways and the facility
is now fenced in. The
construction of airplane
hangers was constructed
in the last few years. If you
get a chance and want to
visit the airport, it's best
to visit when the gates are
open.
See you next week!

Georgia Ports Authority
Proposes New Deepening
Project for Savannah
Harbor
Special to
The Times
Just a year and a half after the completion of a monumental
$1 billion project to deepen the Savannah Harbor from 42
feet to 47 feet, the Georgia Ports Authority is setting its
sights on yet another ambitious endeavor. This new project
aims to further deepen the harbor, and the agency is now
seeking congressional authorization for the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers to undertake a comprehensive study
to assess the economic and environmental impacts of this
proposed deepening project.
The request to initiate this study has been conveyed
to U.S. Rep. Buddy Carter, a Republican representing
Savannah, and Georgia's two Democratic U.S. senators,
Jon Ossoff and Raphael Wamock. The study is expected
to be funded through next year's legislation reauthorizing
the Water Resources Development Act, with contributions
from non-federal funds to support the research.
The previous deepening project, which spanned a
remarkable 25 years, aimed to increase the harbor's depth,
making it more accessible to containerized-cargo ships
with capacities of up to 8,200 twenty-foot equivalent units
(TEUs). This significant improvement played a pivotal role
in enhancing the Port of Savannah's standing in global trade.
However, the maritime industry is continually evolving,
and larger vessels are now calling at the Port of Savannah.
These mammoth ships, with capacities exceeding 16,000
TEUs, face navigation challenges on the Savannah River,
particularly during low tide. These challenges have led to
delays that hinder the port's overall productivity.
The proposed study is expected to address these challenges
and explore the implications of undertaking yet another
deepening project to accommodate these larger vessels.
Once the study is completed and if it receives a favorable
assessment, the next step would be to seek congressional
funding for the construction phase.
Griff Lynch, the Executive Director of the Georgia Ports
Authority, did not mention the deepening project during
Thursday's annual State of the Ports luncheon, where he
updated state and regional business and political leaders on
other planned improvements at the Ports of Savannah and
Bmnswick. However, he later acknowledged the request to
study the implications of another deepening project during
remarks to reporters after his luncheon speech.
The potential deepening of Savannah Harbor holds
significant implications for the region's economy and its
role in global trade. As the study commences and the project
takes shape, stakeholders will be closely monitoring the
progress of this pivotal development in Georgia's maritime
infrastructure.
