Study: New cruise facility will create 336 jobs, $43M economic boost

It's a pretty big splash.
In addition to welcoming thousands of tourists to Charleston every week,
the State Ports Authority's new cruise terminal will create more than 300
jobs and make a $43 million economic impact during its year-long
construction, according to a new study from the Charleston Metro Chamber of
Commerce's Center for Business Research.
This month the SPA will select a design team to develop the new passenger
building, which will open in the third quarter of next year. The Center for
Business Research estimates that the project at the north end of Union Pier
will support 336 jobs in the region, with more than half of those in
construction work to build the terminal.
Mary Graham, the chamber's senior vice president of public policy, shared
the numbers at a business breakfast Wednesday at the Francis Marion Hotel.
She said the redevelopment of the downtown cruise operations would call for
workers in fields ranging from retail to transportation to technical services.
"All sectors of our economy will see the impact of this reconstruction,"
Graham said.
The $25 million project, unveiled in the fall, followed a year of
discussions with residents, business owners and other community
stakeholders. The plan takes cargo out of the historic district, shifts
cruise business north from its current, outdated facility, and connects
Market Street with public access to Charleston Harbor.
Two weekends ago the SPA began handling BMW exports at its Columbus Street
Terminal instead of at Union Pier, signalling growth of the German
automaker's local business and a step forward in the Union Pier redevelopment.

The economic impact report
The SPA expects about 90 cruise ships to call this year. Agency spokesman
Byron Miller shared some statistics at Wednesday's meeting from a recent
passenger survey.
It found that more than four in 10 cruise passengers are first-time
visitors to Charleston, that one-third stay in local hotels and that half
eat in local restaurants.
Miller noted the need to welcome those new tourists in a facility other
than the dilapidated structure currently in use.
"It is anything but representative of the city of Charleston," he said. "It
has been described as West Beirut by some."
Miller said the SPA issued its bonds in November and, with money in hand,
added, "We're ready to get started."
The existing cruise terminal and some surrounding SPA-owned properties will
be redeveloped into a mix of residential, commercial and recreational uses,
but no plans have been finalized.
