WestRock Mill Demolition Prepares Port Future

Demolition kicks off mid-to-late July at the massive 280-acre former WestRock mill in North Charleston, clearing the way for a multi-decade port expansion. First up: hazardous material cleanup, then debris sorting and salvage. The goal? A terminal capable of handling 5 million containers, 5,000 feet of ship dock space, and 400 acres of cargo area. In the meantime, the site will prep for roll-on/roll-off vehicle traffic — BMW, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz included — with upgrades to container stacking and vehicle parking. Vehicle traffic jumped 12% last May, and despite recent market headwinds, port leaders are bullish. Roll-on/roll-off operations launch by 2027, full completion by 2028.
