Governor Perdue wants lawmakers to approve 68 million dollars in construction bonds to deepen the Savannah harbor. The money, he says, has to be raised now so the state can stay competitive in the global shipping industry.
The harbor deepening project is still awaiting environmental approval, but Perdue says he expects that to come later this year and he wants the financing of the project to be in place.
