The only one's that don't want the port there are the retired yankees from the St. James area. The port won't even really have an effect on Hwy 211, or the Town of Southport itself. (perhaps more residents, but those trucks won't be going thru town.) The locals here would love to have a port, but it's primarily only the old yankees that are doing the talking. I don't even know why Southport needs to give support their "unconditional" support? This port isn't even in the city limits. While support from Southport would be nice to have, it's not going to stop the state from moving forward.
