WTC Savannah wraps up successful year

SAVANNAH, GA, USA – On December 8, World Trade Center Savannah held a board meeting to discuss the successes of 2015 and to approve plans for 2016.

Trip Tollison, President and CEO of WTC Savannah listed the 10 top accomplishments for the year. These accomplishments include receiving approval to expand Foreign-Trade Zone 104 to 16 counties, facilitating 155 business matchmaking meetings, hosting 18 inbound trade missions and generating partnership revenue of $189,650, exceeding its goal by 12 percent.
