Dear fellow South Carolinians,
Thank you for subscribing to my weekly e-newsletter, and please remember to follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.
Charleston Port
Last week, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) announced $41.4 million for the Charleston Harbor Deepening Project in the Fiscal Year 19 Work Plan, which will allow for continued progress and further deepening of the harbor. This is great news! The Port of Charleston supports thousands of businesses and jobs across our great state — in fact, 1 out of every 11 jobs in the Palmetto State is port-related. I look forward to continuing to advocate for one of our most integral job producers in South Carolina. You can read more about the announcement here.
SCARC Annual Conference
A week ago, I had the pleasure of attending the South Carolina Association of Regional Councils' annual conference. It was great to join other elected officials from across South Carolina & talk about being a public servant and building our communities through Opportunity Zones.
SC Highway Patrol Graduation
On Wednesday I Spoke to Classes 105 & 106 at the South Carolina Highway Patrol graduation. It was an honor to be among a group of public servants who are eager to defend and protect our communities in the Palmetto State. Congrats to all the graduates and their families, and I look forward to hearing of the great work you will do for our state!
Small Business Saturday
After a wonderful Thanksgiving shared with family and friends, I was happy to also celebrate Small Business Saturday this past weekend. Small businesses are the lifeblood of our economy- so I hope you shopped small as well! I was happy to stop by local Stack’s Nursery in Summerville to buy a Christmas wreath. Check out my final pick below!
 
Sincerely,
Tim |
