Best month in seven years for Charleston port growth
The Port of Charleston logged almost 92 000 containers in May, a 15 percent rise from May 2013 and the busiest since March 2007. Port officials caution the surge may be temporary amid mixed signals from the economy and China. The state budget adds over 38 million for wharf upgrades and 17 million for the old Charleston Naval Base terminal, with inland port improvements near Greer and 2.6 million for infrastructure for Gill Tire’s Chester County plant aiding 1,700 new jobs.
