FEDERAL FUNDING AND LOCAL PROJECTS:
Detyens Shipyard: We set up a meeting with the Department of Commerce and Detyens Shipyard. Detyens employs 1,000 people per day and generates $1 BILLION in economic impact for our region.
Charleston County Coroner's Office: We wrote a letter of support for a $116K DOJ grant to enhance law enforcement's ability to investigate deaths related to drug overdoses, human trafficking, and unidentified decedents.
Lowcountry Waterway Name Change: We connected a Lowcountry County Councilman with the Department of the Interior's U.S. Board on Geographic Names liaison to begin the process of renaming a body of water currently bearing a racial slur. We plan on continuing to track this effort and provide a letter of support once the application is complete.
South Carolina STRONG.
