The new $160 million base, spanning 64 acres along the Cooper River, will be designed to support the operations of the five national security cutters based in Charleston, along with their crews and support staff.
The groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled to take place tomorrow morning, January 26, at 9:15 a.m.
