Friends,
This morning Olga Gorman and I walked through the gates of PORT Lviv, a 77,000 m² logistics campus on the city’s ring road that’s already humming with forklifts, welders, and ideas. The developers added 28,400 m² of new space (“PORT 2.0”) last year, creating more than 500 jobs and offering U.S.–grade amenities—dock-level doors, dust-free concrete floors, and even a lakeside café for the crews.
Yet what struck me most was safety. Beneath one warehouse we stepped into a 50 cm-thick reinforced-concrete bomb shelter—now a community event hall. It’s proof of Ukraine’s grit: build, protect, celebrate, repeat.
Why does this matter to folks back home—especially those of us who remember Victory Gardens and Marshall Plan stories? Because economic revival is the surest path to lasting peace. Companies relocating from the front lines are finding a secure home here in Lviv; every square foot leased keeps families employed and factories running.
Our mission on this 18-day tour is simple: map opportunities for 1,000 U.S. business and civic leaders to invest in post-war Ukraine—and show you the progress already under way.
If you’ve ever asked, “How can I help beyond humanitarian aid?” here’s your chance:
👉 Donate to our Rebuild & Relief Fund – every dollar goes through the Community Foundation of Northeast Georgia straight to vetted Ukrainian projects like PORT that marry resilience with jobs.
🔗 Donate
Whether you give $25 or $2,500, you’re laying a brick in Ukraine’s economic future—and honoring the values that guided our own Greatest Generation.
Thank you for standing with us,
— Emory Morsberger
