John Rice Carter said "I rise today to recognize Griff Lynch for his outstanding service as president and CEO of the Georgia Ports Authority. For more than a decade, Mr. Lynch has led Georgia's ports through historic growth. Under his leadership, the Port of Savannah has become the Nation's busiest cargo hub outside of Los Angeles and New York. The authority also put more than $4 billion into infrastructure improvements during Mr. Lynch's tenure. These investments have strengthened our supply chain, supported thousands of jobs, and expanded economic opportunities across our great State. Mr. Lynch has announced he will retire in August of 2027 after years of dedicated service to Georgia. We thank him for his strong leadership and lasting impact on our State's economy. I am confident the company will see continued success as we welcome Kevin Price who will begin serving as president this July and will succeed Mr. Lynch as CEO." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
