The Georgia Ports Authority (GPA) is launching a $5 billion infrastructure investment program to enhance its national gateway ports in Savannah and Brunswick. This 10-year capital plan focuses on expanding port capacity to accommodate future volume, building on $3.2 billion in improvements completed over the last decade. Key projects include the construction of five new big ship berths at the Port of Savannah and a new fourth berth at the Port of Brunswick to bolster logistics operations.

Operational capacity is also increasing through the development of the 100-acre Garden City Terminal West, a container storage facility adjacent to the Mason Mega Rail terminal. These investments aim to maintain high-velocity supply chain operations, including the current throughput of 42 double-stack trains per week and daily truck gate activity at Savannah's terminals. Additionally, the GPA has pledged $6 million toward local workforce housing initiatives in Savannah to support the surrounding communities.
