2011 State of the Port Address FUELING OUR ECONOMY, CREATING JOBS SUPPORTING THE ENVIRONMENT

3. [Slide 4: FY2009 Economic Impact] Statewide 295,443 full- and part-time jobs* (7% of Georgia�s total employment) $61.7 billion in sales $26.8 billion in gross state product $15.5 billion in income $ 3.5 billion in federal taxes $ 1.5 billion in state taxes $ 1.1 billion in local taxes Nationwide** In FY2010 the Port of Savannah moved 8.3% of total U.S. containerized trade. The GPA handled 11.9% of total U.S. containerized exports in FY2010. Every corner of the state relies upon Georgia�s deepwater ports. Imports and exports help make Georgia the transportation and logistics hub of the Southeast. Never before has it been more evident that international trade is creating economic opportunities throughout the state. A recent study conducted by the University of Georgia�s Terry College of Business showed the number of Georgia jobs directly or indirectly related to the ports increased by as many as 9,000 in FY2009 compared to a similar study three years ago. This means that one job out of every 15 in Georgia is in some way dependent upon its ports. The fundamental finding of this study is that the state's strategic decisions to invest in our two deepwater ports have contributed to substantial economic activity in Georgia. And our port�s impacts don�t just stop at the state line. In 2009, the Port of Savannah moved more than $46.6 billion of cargo and nearly 8 percent of the total U.S. containerized trade.[Slide 4: FY2009 Economic Impact] Statewide 295,443 full- and part-time jobs* (7% of Georgia�s total employment) $61.7 billion in sales $26.8 billion in gross state product $15.5 billion in income $ 3.5 billion in federal taxes $ 1.5 billion in state taxes $ 1.1 billion in local taxes Nationwide** In FY2010 the Port of Savannah moved 8.3% of total U.S. containerized trade.

29. We have designed our terminals to avoid impacting wetlands and wildlife habitats as much as possible. A decade ago when we submitted our permit application to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to build Container Berth 8 (CB-8), our project design plan avoided impacts to the wetlands, which are now protected in that area. Annual monitoring of the wetland�s flora and fauna for this nine-acre freshwater wetland at the Port of Savannah�s Garden City Terminal recently concluded the CB-8 wetland is healthy, thriving and the home to a six-nest rookery of Great White Egrets.
