The South Carolina Ports Authority (SCPA) received a $19,986,000 block grant award from the Department of Transportation Maritime Administration (MARAD) on January 27, 2021 to construct a toe wall and complete the deepening of three berths at the Port of Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina. The funding supports port infrastructure development projects under MARAD's Port Infrastructure Development Program (PIDP; CFDA #20.823), which provides grants to improve coastal and inland port facilities and intermodal connections to enhance the movement of goods through ports. Specifically, the SCPA project will safety and efficiently deepen three berths at the Port of Mt. Pleasant to accommodate larger cargo ships, a key objective of the PIDP. Project completion is slated for June 30, 2027.
