Port Citrus - Continued from page 2
Walter Winn, Jr. of Pine Ridge published in the Southeast Shipping News: “First,
with the budget so strapped for funds, why didn’t the BOCC approach our elected represen-
tatives to seek the statute change at no cost to the county? Who has done a study to check
the feasibility of Port Citrus as a container port? Second, one or more tugs will be required
to tow/push the barges to Port Citrus. Will Port Citrus have to buy, operate and maintain
these tugs? What is the funding source for Port Citrus? Third, what will Port Citrus do with
the containers if they arrive? If we were to get one barge with 50 containers on it, we would
need 50 semis to transport them elsewhere or about 17 rail cars. What would Port Citrus do
with 1,800 containers?”
Walter Wynn Jr. has a bachelor of science degree from the U.S. Naval Academy. He
earned his Ph.D from Cornell University, engineering physics, in 1965; qualified for com-
mand of nuclear submarines; is a commander, U.S. Navy (retired); local business owner for
computer services (retired); and resident of Pine Ridge since 1987.
Proposed port: On the other side of the Hwy 19 canal bridge you can see Holcim mine to the
left and Cemex mine (Dixie Hollins) on the right. The Proposed Port Citrus would be in this
area. Photo Courtesy www.7RiversSky Cam.com
