The U.S. Department of Transportation will allow the Georgia Port Authority to build storage for shipping containers at sites near the Port of Savannah using $8 million in unspent federal grants, part of a new plan to relieve supply-chain bottlenecks at U.S. ports.
The Georgia Port Authority wants to build pop-up container storage at five sites in Georgia and North Carolina in order to free up space closer to the water. The new yards, funded by unspent grant money, will open in as soon as 30 to 45 days, administration officials said Tuesday.
