GPA Board Chairman, Alec Poitevint, said: “The terminal improvements Georgia Ports is making to support growth are self-financed through port proceeds and do not rely on taxpayers.”

The ports’ economic impact hit $174 billion in sales and $77 billion in GDP in FY2024.

Gains came from forest products, food, automotive cargo, machinery, retail goods, and furniture.

Jeff Humphreys, Director of UGA’s Selig Center for Economic Growth, stated: “Georgia’s ports are one of its strongest economic engines, fostering the development of virtually every industry.”

He noted their strategic role in supporting logistics, warehousing, manufacturing, agriculture, and transportation.

Recently, S&P Global issued an AA/Stable rating on the Georgia Ports Authority’s (GPA) revenue bonds in its latest bi-annual review.
