N.C. governor appoints new head of N.C. State Port Authority
Gov. Pat McCrory has appointed Tom Adams the new chairman of the N.C. State Port Authority board of directors.
Brunswick Country developer Tom Adams, who has been on the board since January and is president and CEO of Adams Building and Consulting Co., said he’s excited about the challenges ahead.
"We’re looking forward to revitalizing the ports," he said, noting the work CEO Paul Cozza already has underway to grow the ports’ operations and take advantage of its excess capacity.
Along with the Port of Wilmington, the state ports operate a deep-water port in Morehead City and inland terminals in Charlotte and Greensboro.
Adams takes over the board’s chairmanship from Michael Lee, who resigned in August when he was appointed to the N.C. Senate to serve out the remaining term of retiring Sen. Thom Goolsby, R-New Hanover.
