Eric Green's leadership at Jaxport is paying off
The Florida Times-Union editorial board has recognised Jacksonville Port Authority (Jaxport) CEO Eric Green for his leadership in growing Jacksonville’s seaport over the last five years, including the port's continued success amid global supply chain disruption created by the pandemic. Jaxport has attracted USA 1 billion in investments since Green was named chief executive officer in 2017.
Jaxport’s single biggest growth initiative, deepening the shipping channel to 14.3 m, is anticipated to be complete in May 2022. The project is partially funded through a public-private partnership and was a key factor in global shipping line Sea Lead’s recent decision to select Jaxport as a port of call on its first US East Coast container service.
