Respuesta :

D.He believes more port activity would be good for Atlanta's business, too

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Why might an Atlanta mayor want to see improvements in the Port of Savannah? Primarily, Kasim Reed believes more port activity would be good for Atlanta's business, too. He is right, as more goods could flow into Savannah and make their way into Atlanta, just as more Atlanta-based goods could be shipped to and out of Savannah. Reed also said, "I have said many times that my vision is for Atlanta to be the logistics hub of the Western Hemisphere, where ideas, people and goods connect. The Port of Savannah, with a deeper harbor, is an essential part of that vision."
