Union Pier from the Harbor: Advocacy Focused Boat Tour

The ongoing debate and public process surrounding the redevelopment of Union Pier is constantly changing. Historic Charleston Foundation has remained engaged every step of the way and has strived to keep the Charleston community informed.

After the latest Planning Commission meeting on June 7, there is a lot more to understand. Historic Charleston Foundation invites you to ask questions and engage with Winslow Hastie, President & CEO and Cashion Drolet, Chief Advocacy Officer, to unpack all of the details, get updates from the latest meeting and learn what happens next.

This Advocacy Boat Tour focused on Union Pier is open to the public and donations are strongly encouraged to help provide resources for HCF’s work. Your financial gifts empower HCF to continue to pursue and advocate for a community-led vision for this consequential moment in Charleston’s future.

Funds are used to consult with experts in a variety of fields including urban design, traffic management, storm water mitigation, and other important issues surrounding this proposal. Your gifts also help underwrite communication efforts to make this complicated process more comprehensible and to broaden our reach and messaging in the community. For example, the fee for artist renderings can cost up to $250 an hour; a full page advertisement in a local newspaper begins at $1,800; and distribution of a printed leaflet runs approximately $400 per occurrence. Each gift will assist HCF in our efforts to impact a favorable outcome in the redevelopment of the Union Pier Terminal. Upon registration, you will have an opportunity to make a donation. Registration is required to attend this program.
