Congress has authorized the Charleston Harbor deepening project and sent it to President Barack Obama’s desk for signature — the last step in authorizing the 52-foot harbor depth.
The Senate passed the Water Infrastructure Improvement for the Nation Act, S.612, on Saturday by a vote of 78-21. The House passed the act, which includes the Water Resources Development Act, by a vote of 360-61.

State Ports Authority.
