Legislation to upgrade water infrastructure across Coastal Georgia passes Senate
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) – The U.S. Senate passed the Water Resource Development Act of 2024 (WRDA), Thursday, Dec. 19, sending the bill to the White House with several Georgia priorities.
Those priorities include directing the Army Corps of Engineers to study further deepening and widening the Port of Savannah to accommodate larger vessels.
In January 2024, Senator Warnock led the Georgia delegation in a letter to key leaders requesting support for this study authorization.
Key wins secured by Warnock for the Coastal Georgia area include the following:
- Savannah Harbor Deepening Feasibility Study: Provision directing the Corps to study further deepening and widening the Port of Savannah.
- Coastal Georgia Environmental Infrastructure: Authorizes $50 million for the Corps to provide drinking water and wastewater infrastructure assistance in Georgia’s coastal communities, providing those most impacted by climate change and sea level rise with another tool to address their water infrastructure needs. (in Bryan, Camden, Chatham, Effingham, Glynn, and McIntosh counties.)
- City of Tybee Island Shoreline Feasibility Study: This provision authorizes the Corps to study the federal interest in a new beach nourishment project along Tybee Island.
- New Savannah Bluff Lock and Dam (NSBLD): Directs the Corps to fully repair the NSBLD to ensure it can maintain the pool at a desired level, as well as construct an off-channel rock ramp fish passage structure.

Dell McGee’s defensive staff overhaul as he enters Year 3 atop the Georgia State program is getting its most significant piece of the puzzle, FootballScoop has learned.
McGee is hiring Cam Clark, a senior analyst on Duke coach Manny Diaz’s 2025 Atlantic Coast Conference Champions staff, to run the Georgia State defense, sources tell FootballScoop.
It’s a notable hire for McGee, who is seeking to turn around Georgia State after going just 4-20 in his first two seasons at the helm.
While Clark arrives at Georgia State after assisting the Duke Blue Devils offense, his background is in defensive coaching.
He served two years as defensive coordinator at Football Championship Subdivision program Western Illinois, and he also ran the defense at Lamar University. Additionally, Clark was defensive coordinator at Georgia prep powerhouse Thomas County Central High School.
A former star player at Harding University, Clark obtained his master’s degree from Auburn University, where he served as a graduate assistant.
He has additional Football Bowls Subdivision experience from coaching under both Hugh Freeze and Gus Malzahn while serving on their respective staffs at Arkansas State.
