Infrastructure bank a surprising reality
Charleston reports a new state infrastructure bank may fund major projects like a $400 million Cooper River Bridge. State Sen. Arthur Ravenel led the push, with bipartisan support from Gov. Beasley and lawmakers to finance bonds for key transportation schemes along the Grand Strand and Lowcountry. Condensed plan aims to fund big-ticket roads and bridges with state revenues and user fees, drawing concern over project distribution and political influence.
