State port commissioner Frances Turnage has resigned from the five-member board, commission president Jim Simpson confirmed Tuesday.

Simpson said he understands the resignation is effective immediately. Turnage

is not expected to attend the port commission’s meeting set for Wednesday morning at Hancock Bank, he said.
