Palmetto Railways

SC Public Railways President & CEO Jeff McWhorter named one the 50 Most Influential People by Columbia Monthly Business Journal.

Jeff McWhorter successfully negotiated the end of a decades-long battle between his organization and the city of North Charleston that will provide rail access to the north end of the port facilities on the site of the former Charleston Naval Base. The state gets rail access, 14 acres of land and the option to acquire 12 more acres. North Charleston gets $8 million over four years, the assumption of some debt, and 100 acres of developable land at the north end of the former base.
