"I believe this new Charleston area expansion proposal should be supplemented by a 400 to 500-acre inland port and intermodal facility at the intersection of I-95 and I-26. I believe the ideal site is in the SW quadrant just inside of Orangeburg County at the Dorchester County line. The site is near U.S. Highways 178 and 78, and has access to the old Southern Railroad that runs through St. George and up to Branchville."
