The Port of Savannah needs hundreds of millions of dollars to deepen its harbor and take advantage of the Panama Canal expansion. That expansion is expected to double its capacity and accommodate ships carrying three times as much cargo. . . .Georgia needs another way to permanently deepen harbors. One solution is public-private partnerships, which deliver needed infrastructure including ports, raise new sources of capital for modernization, shift risks away from taxpayers and onto investors, and encourage innovation. Column by Baruch Feigenbaum, a Georgia Tech graduate of the School of City and Regional Planning who is the transportation policy adviser for the Reason Foundation.
