NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - A public interest law firm is stepping in on the conversation over the rezoning proposal of a site along the Ashley River.

The South Carolina Environmental Law Project addressed a letter to North Charleston decisionmakers on March 28 condemning the use of “quid pro quo” influence, or the exchange of a political donation for a favorable vote, during talks on the former Baker Hospital site.

“That’s a violation of state law,” Executive Director Amy Armstrong says. “We don’t want elected officials to be influenced by either people or entities outside the community.”

The council will discuss a request to rezone the site on April 11. The proposal would allow a combined-use multi-phase park, with a portion of the property allotted for a Sea Fox Boats manufacturing plant.

The boating company, which has an operating plant in Moncks Corner, is owned by members of the Renken family. In the letter, the law firm claims family members do not live on or own property in the North Charleston area, and prior to 2023, made no known campaign contributions to the city.

Reports from Ethics Filing SC state the family donated at least $11,000 to several candidates on the 2023 electoral ballot, including two candidates for mayor and two for District 4 and District 10. This included $5,000 to Teddy Pryor, $4,000 to Kevin Hollinshead, $1,000 to Charmaine Palmer Roberts and $1,000 to Rhonda Jerome.

Sea Fox Boats owner Fred Renken responded to the letter in a long email addressed to the firm and councilmembers.

Renken called the letter “false information and defamatory accusations.” He also accused Armstrong of “inadvertently supporting gentrification in the local community” by “supporting an extremely poor cleanup of the environmental damage to the property and also burdening the taxpayer.”

In response to the comments about family involvement in the city, Renken says many family members have been involved with the city for several decades through personal and business influences. He adds he donated the money to candidates whom he believed would represent the community with honesty and respect.

Previously, Renken and colleagues have remained optimistic about their support for the development. The group hopes to bring more jobs to the area and fund the completion of the park through a lease partnership between the Charleston County Parks and Recreation Commission.

Community engagement has produced mixed feedback on the combined use of the space. Neighbors pushing for the site to be fully recreational say they feel this addition is a “slap in the face.”

“Gosh, you’ve got all these industrial uses, now there’s going to be a park here. All of sudden to say, you’re gonna get a park, but you can only get it if you get another industrial use. It feels like pulling the rug out from communities,” North Charleston neighbor and Metanoia CEO Bill Stanfield says.

Several community members have raised concern for the area’s history with industrial use. The site itself was formerly a hospital and phosphate processing plant.

“The communities here on the Southern half of North Charleston already bear more than their share of industrial uses, all those industrial uses kick off a certain measure of risks of pollutants,” Stanfield says.

“The EPA has made findings about boat manufacturing being an emitter of harmful pollutants,” Armstrong says. “Children are going to be playing on your swing sets, running around and playing in the dirt. That’s probably not where you want to put an industrial facility.”

Others who live near the property say they would not mind the plant in exchange for the wider benefit.

“I don’t think it’s going to hurt anyone. It’s not that serious. We have a plant right there,” North Charleston neighbor Michayla Hayes says. “I go all the way to Park Circle to use this, it’s gonna be even wonderful to me to just walk to the park and take my little cousins.”

The City of North Charleston did not provide an updated response to the letter or any additional comment on the rezoning request.

The council will discuss the topic starting on April 11. The next opportunity for public input will be on April 18.

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – The South Carolina Ports Authority announced Tuesday it plans to purchase the former WestRock paper mill site in North Charleston to “further expand port capacity.”

WestRock announced in May 2023 that it would close the mill in late August, citing high operating costs and the need for significant capital investment as the driving factors behind the closure.

The SC Ports Board of Directors voted on Tuesday morning to move forward with a purchase sales agreement with WestRock. While the SC Ports did not provide a timeline, they said the transaction is expected to close “as soon as practical.”

Port officials said they also received support from the state for the project.

“South Carolina Ports is widely known as a top driver of our state’s booming economy, but that success doesn’t come by accident — it takes timely, strategic investments like this one. Every time we invest in port infrastructure, we see significant success at port-dependent businesses and new, good-paying jobs for our people. Our state’s investment in the expansion of North Charleston Terminal will yield dividends and create opportunities for future generations,” said Governor Henry McMaster.

“The tremendous backing from our state and an excellent partnership with WestRock allows us to make investments today that will support our state’s economy and create opportunities for future generations of South Carolinians,” said SC Ports President and CEO Barbara Melvin. “We are adding significant port capacity to support growth in South Carolina and throughout the Southeast.”

The approximately 280-acre property sits adjacent to the North Charleston Terminal. SC Ports leaders say the former paper mill site will offer a natural extension of the container terminal allowing them to handle more cargo for port-dependent businesses.

It could expand the terminal’s capacity to handle five million containers in the future and create 5,000 feet of linear berth space for container shops, and around 400 acres of terminal space for cargo.

Port officials said the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) is playing a key role in the project. They are planning to expand I-526 and will replace the Don Holt Bridge, which would remove height constraints for larger vessels.

“Plans are also underway to achieve a 52-foot depth up to North Charleston Terminal. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Charleston District, is undertaking a feasibility study — a critical first step toward deepening this stretch of the Cooper River an additional five feet,” the SC Ports said in its release.

Leaders say the deepening and new bridge height will allow bigger ships calling the Port of Charleston to seamlessly access the North Charleston Terminal.
