Dermody Properties Foundation Donates Check to the Old Savannah City Mission.
2009-12-16
HARRISBURG, PA –
In November, Reno, NV-based Dermody Properties Foundation donated a $5,000
check to the Old Savannah City Mission to support their good works and help
allay the cost of hosting the 12th Annual Day of Great Thanksgiving,
an event in which 7,000 smoked turkey dinners were served to the hungry and
homeless by 800 volunteers at Forsyth Park in downtown Savannah.
“We have been an
active corporate citizen ofSavannah since 2007 when we acquired
72 acres of land for our LogistiPortÒ at Savannah industrial park. We are very pleased to give back to a community
that is an important component of our success,” said Stephen G. Bailey,
RLA, Partner of the Eastern Region office in
Harrisburg,
PA, for DP Partners, a member of Dermody
Properties.
LogistiPort at
Savannah is located on the west side of Dean Forest Road (Georgia Route 307),
bordering the historic Savannah & Ogeechee Canal, less than one mile north
of I-16 in Pooler, GA, and four miles
west of the Port of Savannah.
“We hope our donation helps our neighbors in the short term; however, we
are in the business of attracting jobs, which is an important component to the
long-term solution,” he said. Since
2007, DP Partners has developed two new distribution centers, totaling 1,036,680 SF and
currently approximately 40 percent leased. According to Bailey, when LogistiPort is fully leased, it could generate
up to 300 jobs.
