Saying Georgia and the S.C. Ports Authority are "in cahoots" to delay construction of a port in Jasper County, lawyers for the county fought Friday to keep alive Jasper's hopes of building the port itself. Both the county and Ports Authority have filed competing cases seeking to condemn Georgia-owned land across from the Port of Savannah, where both entities say they want to build a port. With the S.C. Supreme Court writing in April that the Ports Authority's claim to the land has priority over the county's, county lawyers argued Friday that they should be allowed to challenge the Ports Authority's condemnation effort. "Our case is that the Ports Authority is condemning the land in an anti-competition effort and will warehouse the land," said Cam Lewis, who is representing the county.
