TEN YEARS AGO - DANIEL ISLAND'S WATERFRONT MARINA MOVES CLOSER TO REALITY

In the February 22, 2007 edition of the paper our cover and centerfold featured a large scale drawing of a proposed waterfront marina for Daniel Island. We reported, “An ambitious public waterfront and marina proposed for Daniel Island’s Wando River shoreline was unveiled last week by The Daniel Island Company and the City of Charleston. The project would be the centerpiece of Daniel Island’s 20-mile park and trail system and a new boating destination within the region.” The story continued, “ If approved by regulatory agencies, nearly two miles of shoreline north and south of the Mark Clark Expressway would be transformed into a wide array of water-oriented recreational opportunities. It would include a public-access boat ramp, fishing pier and full-service marina.
