Chatham Still
Would Like To
Develop Isle
SAVANNAH, Ga. (UPD—Sa
vannah officials were undaunted
and Gov. Lester Maddox was
disturbed following the an
nouncement Monday that the
federal oceanography laboratory
site would be in Florida, not on
Skidaway Island off Savannah.
Chatham County officials said
they still wanted to develop the
island for a state oceanography
center that Robert F. Lovett,
county commission chairman,
called “our No. 1 goal.”
But the governor appeared
shaken at the news that the
multi - million dollar laboratory
would be built on Virginia Key
off Miami.
“I’m disappointed, very much
so,” he said. “I think it was not
a good decision. But this is not
the first time they (the federal
government) have made a bad
decision. We had the best spot
and made the greatest prepara
tions.”
Maddox twice flew to Wash
ington to discuss the matter
with President Johnson and
talked with Vice President Hu
bert Humphrey in Atlanta 10
days ago about the Skidaway
site.
The laboratory will have
about 50 employes and a $3
million annual payroll.
The government said it chose
Miami because of its climate,
closeness to higher education
institutions, communications
and transportation, manpower
resources, schools and housing.
Levett said the state labora
tory at Skidaway “will be the
dawn of a new era for coastal
Georgia” and added “we’re go
ing ahead with our $3 million
bond issue referendum and we
intend to build a bridge and
to Skidaway.”
Attorney Laurie Abbott, a
leader in Savannah’s drive for
an oceanographic center, pre
dicted federal agencies will op
erate projects on Skidaway in
connection with the state center.
He said 60 industries had al
ready expressed interest in as
sociating with the state complex
and predicted it would be larger
than the federal project.
Abbott said the state facility
would include a graduate school,
docking facilities and acreage
for private and federal develop,
ment
State Sen. Bart Shea of Sa
vannah said the bond issue vote
is "our main concern” now.
