More than 100 golfers teed off in the third annual Abilities Unlimited Tournament at the Savannah Golf Club.

Abilities Unlimited is an organization that provides exercise programs and training for folks with mental or physical challenges.

"It is a very good program because without them I wouldn't be able to do what I'm able to do right now," said Craig Wester, Abilities Unlimited.

"We have a number of people on a waiting list that we cannot accommodate right now because the finances are not there. This is one way of trying to raise money to help those that need help," said Richard Barrow, Abilities Unlimited.

WTOC's Sonny Dixon was the emcee at the opening ceremony. The event helped to raise $25,000. To learn more about Abilities Unlimited, visit http://www.abilitiesunlimitedinc.org/.

(Garden City, Ga.)- Coastal Logistics Group, Inc. (CLG) is among the companies Governor Nathan Deal praised Monday for contributing to the Port of Savannah's success.

"Our strong, strong logistics and transportation network in Georgia on land, sea, rail, and by air is key to job development in the Southeast," said Governor Deal.  

This month, CLG announced the opening of its third and newest operation in Suffolk, Virginia.  The Garden City-based logistics firm has experienced a lot of growth in the last 7 months. 

In January, CLG opened a new 300,000 sq. ft. facility in the Coastal Empire.  Branching out to the area near the Port of Virginia adds to the company's vision of strengthening the global supply chain in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions.  

The Suffolk location will function similarly to the company's Garden City location.  It will serve as a strategic hub for distribution, packing, crating, and movement of goods made in the U.S.A. and other countries of the world.    

“The Coastal Logistics Group Virginia team includes a mix of talented logistics engineers, packaging specialists, and business experts” said Chad Barrow, President of Coastal Logistics Group. “We are meeting present-day demands for CLG customers and actively pursuing new business for the Port of Virginia. We are excited to be a part of the growing logistics community in the area and contributing to the local economy."

“Our team is already building up a strong reputation and presence with customers and partners alike,” said Richard Barrow, CEO of Coastal Logistics Group. “We look forward to working with the City, State, and Port of Virginia to support our customer’s logistics needs in Virginia.”

A budding Savannah, Ga.-based third-party logistics firm is expanding into the Southeast Memphis industrial market. Coastal Logistics Group Inc. has signed a new 50,000-square-foot lease at 5715 Distribution Drive.

CLG provides services that include packing and crating, specialized port, distribution support and manufacturing support. The private company is a fast-growing 3PL firm, ranked by Inc. magazine as a fastest growing company in the country for 2009 and 2010.

Chicago-based Jones Lang La Salle’s Memphis office managing director Russ Westlake and associate broker Jack Wohrman represented the tenant.

Scott Pahlow, executive vice president with Grubb & Ellis Memphis, represented the landlord, A.L. Dougherty-Tennessee III LLC.

“Coastal selected this location because it fit their current space requirement and provides attractive lease economics,” Wohrman said. “It also has expansion capability up to 150,000 square feet and a potentially active rail spur.”
