Even before operations there begin, Gainesville’s inland port is getting high marks from a state environmental group.
“Georgia’s new inland port in Gainesville will replace an estimated 26,000 truck roundtrips in its first year, easing congestion and improving air quality across the Atlanta region,” the Georgia Climate Digest writes.

The facility, being built by the Georgia Ports Authority, is scheduled to open next month. EARLIER STORY. POSTED MARCH 24: Opening date for Gville’s Inland Port set
