Gov. Nathan Deal is diving into a new partnership along the Savannah River shipping channel in hopes of enticing manufacturers and logistics companies.

Gov. Deal, alongside Dulany Industries Inc., and Greenfield Environmental Trust, unveiled Thursday the SeaPoint Industrial Terminal Complex, a mile-long private deepwater frontage along the main Savannah River shipping channel as well as class I rail service on-site and easy access to the Georgia Ports Authority and major interstates like I-95 and I-16.

Located on the site of the former Kemira plant in Savannah, SeaPoint is a unique industrial deepwater site for the Southeast. Greenfield, a brownfield redevelopment company, took over the site after the Tronox bankruptcy in 2009. The involved parties say the 755-acre site will include use of an existing office complex, warehousing, security, rail, deep water terminal operations, by-product steam, logistical services, maintenance services and more.
