This would directly impact the local business and create a major source of jobs for people in the Charleston area. Many preservation groups are worried that the new terminal will grow at an uncontrollable rate, resulting in a depletion in Charleston’s environment and economy but, it actually will result in exactly opposite of that! The ideas of the preservation groups are counterintuitive and will be resolved by creation of the new terminal. Therefore, the new terminal is a win win for Charleston.

Support the creation of the new passenger cruise terminal to end this ongoing debacle and watch Charleston thrive like it never has
