Congressman Bishop Statement on Funding for the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project
Statement
Issues: Infrastructure
Today, Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr. (GA-02) issued the following statement regarding funding the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project (SHEP):
"While I am disappointed that direct funding was not included in the President's fiscal year 2015 budget proposal for the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project, Congress can still work to include funds through the budgeting process to continue the project. Dredging of the Savannah River is long overdue, and once the project is completed, the Savannah Port will be a major driver of regional economic development, create jobs, and boost Georgia's economy by opening access to vital infrastructure projects across the entire country."
