With completion of several projects related to the plan, the port worked with community members starting in December 2012 through June 2013 in a collaborative process for a 2013 Charleston Harbor Master Plan Update. A Resource Assistance for Rural Environments (RARE)/Americorps representative facilitated the process to gather community input from users of the facilities, local area residents, other public agencies and various advocacy and community support groups in the Charleston area. From that information, the port developed this comprehensive and flexible plan to produce the greatest benefit for Charleston and Oregon’s Bay Area.
