South Carolina and Georgia will spend about $15 million during the next three years on studies for a joint $4.5 billion containership terminal.
The board of the Jasper Ocean Terminal on Wednesday approved a $5 million budget for the fiscal year beginning in July and was told that the same amount will be needed the following two years.
The massive 1,500-acre terminal is planned for the South Carolina side of the Savannah River not far downstream from Savannah, Georgia.
