Planning contract to advance Jasper terminal

By Molly Parker , Daily Journal Staff


The bistate authority charged with developing a port terminal in Jasper
County is expected to vote Wednesday on awarding a planning contract
worth more than $3 million.



The contract award will mark the first major financial commitment to the
project since mid-July, when Georgia’s and South Carolina’s ports
authorities agreed to split the $7.6 million cost for about 1,500 acres
in Jasper County on the Savannah River.



The Jasper Ocean Terminal Joint Project Office, made up of
representatives from Georgia and South Carolina, is scheduled to meet at
10:30 a.m. Wednesday in Charleston, at the S.C. State Ports Authority’s
headquarters.



“It’s a significant undertaking,” said Bill Bethea Jr., the project
office’s vice chairman.



Bethea said the office sent requests for proposals to six qualified firms
and received two back. The office will select the winning candidate after
discussing the proposals in executive session, he said. Bethea declined
to disclose the competing companies.



The ports authorities will split the price of the contract. The two-year
planning contract is to help the states prepare for the lengthy
permitting process, Bethea said.



“This is a long-term process,” he said. “It’s a marathon; it’s not a
sprint.”



Also, the S.C. State Ports Authority meets at 9 a.m. Tuesday and is
expected to take up a “resolution related to the Jasper project.” SPA
spokesman Byron Miller would not elaborate on the nature of the
resolution.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Charleston Launches Distribution Center Portal – PortCharlestonDC.com

Additional 20 Million Square Feet in Development to Double Industrial
Space

Charleston, SC – More than 20 million square feet of Class A industrial
space is in development within 30 miles of the Port of Charleston. Now,
the South Carolina State Ports Authority (SCSPA) has launched a new tool
for importers, exporters and logistics companies to join Charleston’s
rapidly expanding distribution center cluster.

A new Web site, www.PortCharlestonDC.com, shows how Charleston’s
industrial space is set to double in the next six years. Hillwood,
Trammel Crow, Johnson Development, Rockefeller Group, Pattillo
Construction, Childress-Klein, Lauth and others have already launched
major spec building projects.

One million square feet came on the market recently and has been
absorbed. Developers are expected to bring three million square feet
online in 2009.

The new Web portal provides project and contact details, as well as
intelligence on the Port of Charleston’s distribution and industrial
market.

“Everyone is competing for access to the Southeast region,” said Bernard
S. Groseclose Jr., president & CEO of the SCSPA. “Based on the
tremendous investment we’re seeing, the private sector has great
confidence in Charleston’s role as the gateway to the Southeast region.
Charleston offers a powerful mix of new port capacity, the deepest
channels and superior access to a growing Southeast market.”

The South’s population is projected to expand 43% by 2030, according to
the U.S. Census Bureau. The region is a well-established industrial zone
with significant production, considerable foreign direct investment and
expanding consumption.

Driving the impressive push in private-sector investment is the Port of
Charleston’s unique combination of natural and operational advantages.
Charleston offers the quickest and most reliable access to the I-85
corridor, which includes the commerce and trade hubs of Raleigh,
Charlotte, Greenville/Spartanburg and Atlanta.

Distribution and international transportation are an important focus of
the state’s economic development strategy. The state offers incentives
to encourage increased international trade, and recently, the S.C.
Department of Commerce added a senior project manager to work on
industrial investment and the recruitment of distribution and logistics
centers.

Beyond the 20 million square feet in the Charleston market, several major
projects are underway in close proximity to the port, including in the
Orangeburg “Global Logistics Triangle” about 60 miles from Charleston.
Projects in this area include Jafza USA’s 1,300-acre site near the
intersection of interstates 26 and 95.

The Port of Charleston can accommodate post-Panamax ships today, making
it particularly well-positioned for trade following the expansion of the
Panama Canal. In addition, construction of a new container terminal in
Charleston Harbor is underway, which will boost port capacity by 50%.

“If you are an importer, exporter, 3PL, or site selection consultant, you
need to know what’s happening in Charleston,” said Groseclose. “The
level of commitment and investment is impressive, and we look forward to
serving new cargo accounts through these projects.”
