CHARLESTON, S.C. – This morning, Senator Tim Scott will host a press conference in Charleston’s Liberty Square to celebrate the passage of his Ft. Sumter/Ft. Moultrie National Historical Park Act. The Fort Sumter and Fort Moultrie National Historical Park Act was previously passed by the United States Senate back in February, as part of the larger federal lands package. On Tuesday, it was signed into law by President Trump.
The Act establishes Fort Sumter and Fort Moultrie as a National Historical Park, revamps protections and preservation of the sites and has the potential to enhance local economic opportunities for the surrounding areas through increased tourism and visitation.
Sen. Scott will be joined by Acting Superintendent of Ft. Sumter/Moultrie Dawn Davis, CEO of Charleston’s Convention and Visitor’s Bureau Helen Hill and Spiritline Cruises/Ft. Sumter Tour’s and State Sen. Chip Campsen. The press conference will begin at 10:30 AM. Media is welcome.
