COLUMBIA, S.C. – Governor Henry McMaster today released the following statement in response to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dedicating $41.4 million for the Charleston Harbor Deepening Project:
“South Carolina’s growing economy is driven by one of the most productive ports systems in the country, and today’s news shows that President Trump’s administration, and all of Team South Carolina, is committed to seeing it continue to strengthen. This $41 million is an investment in our entire state’s future. When companies see that we are committed to our infrastructure, they have reason to be more confident in their investment in our communities, which means more jobs for our people. The Charleston Harbor becoming the deepest on the east coast will one day be seen as one of the most impactful moments in South Carolina’s prosperous economic future.”
