SUMMARY: If Jackson County were to build a port facility, on the Apalachicola River, it would, in effect, have to compete with those that are in existence, or being planned along the Apalachicola, Chattahoochee, and Flint Rivers. The purpose of these ports, most of which are State-supported, is to encourage industrialization. This competition will place Jackson County at an extreme disadvantage since its capacity to finance and support a port facility would be borne by its own people only, as the State of Florida has no such support program. A competitive-type inland port facility in Jackson County would range in cost from about $300,000 to $400,000. This would enable the port to handle most of the commodities that are now being shipped on the waterway system with the exception of liquid bulk commodities. The annual operating cost during the first years of operation would approximate $63,000 per year including $27,000 for debt service and retirement. The proposed port facility is not regarded as justified at this time on the basis of meeting an existing demand. The need for a port facility should first be established before efforts are directed toward meeting that need. (Author)
