Be patient with port progress
By Michael J. Quillen
Virginia is blessed to have one of the nation’s finest natural harbors with deep-water access and 50-foot channels. The commonwealth has made significant investments over decades to take advantage of this asset, and the result is the third busiest port on the East Coast and a tremendous economic engine.
Quillen is the chairman of the Virginia Port Authority Board. He is retired as chairman of Alpha Natural Resources in Abingdon.
