Working in close collaboration with the City of Charleston, the South Carolina State Ports Authority is creating a plan for its Union Pier Cruise Terminal and the surrounding area.
The planning team is led by Cooper, Robertson & Partners, one of the nation’s preeminent planning and design firms. The planning process will include continuous opportunities for public input.
Goals of the process include:
- Create a financially viable plan for a new cruise terminal that is attractive and in keeping with the character of historic Charleston
- Comply with today’s enhanced cruise security requirements
- Mitigate impacts on existing infrastructure and traffic
- Identify additional uses for the Union Pier property that bring enjoyment to Charlestonians and enhance the local economy
- Increase public access to Charleston’s historic waterfront
We encourage you to contact us to get updates on the planning process.
