The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The Brunswick shipyards had the BIGGEST economic impact in the Brunswick-Savannah, Georgia area during World War II.

In these places, workers built many ships that were used in the war front during World War II. President Franklin D. Roosevelt had announced the Emergency Shipbuilding Program at the beginning of 1941. Brunswick in specific was selected to build cargo ships that would help transport war supplies to the Allied forces. It is said that 16,000 workers built more than 90 ships in record time. The construction of these vessels ended in 1945.
