–
Following
U.S.
Army
Corps
of
Engineers’
Civil
Works
Review
Board
unanimous
approval
of
the
Final
Integrated
Feasibility
Report
and
Environmental
Impact
Statement
for
the
Charleston
Harbor
Deepening
Project,
U.S.
Senator
Tim
Scott
(R-SC)
released
the
following
statement:
“Today’s
announcement
by
the
U.S.
Army
Corps
of
Engineers
underscores
the
importance
of
moving
forward
to
deepen
the
Charleston
Harbor.
This
project
will
ensure
that
our
region
remains
one
of
the
most
competitive
ports
on
the
East
Coast
as
the
Panama
Canal
is
expanded.
South
Carolina
has
become
the
epicenter
of
our
nation’s
manufacturing
renaissance,
and
a
deeper
port
in
Charleston
will
provide
our
region
with
even
strong
economic
benefits
for
the
entire
Southeast. I
will
continue
working to
ensure
this
critical
harbor
modernization
is
completed.”
