Best Moving Company in North Charleston

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - Frequent travelers on I-26 may be noticing a few changes as workers are clearing out trees to make room for the Palmetto Commerce Interchange Project.

Charleston County leaders say the goal would be to mitigate traffic and commute times by building an interchange between Ashley Phosphate Road and University Boulevard.

Several North Charleston homeowners say it has made their daily routines unbearable.

“They took away what little foliage we have, they’ve got to do something. This is just insulting to say this is fine,” neighbor Steve Miller says.

Miller, like many in the neighborhoods lining I-26, has lived in the area with his wife for decades.

Homeowners say the neighborhood has become a safe space for those aging in place.

“I’m getting near retirement. The idea of having to move to get away from this. I shouldn’t have to,” Miller says.

The group has been pushing for noise barriers for decades. Homeowners worry how direct exposure to the interstate could impact nearby families in the long term.

“Road noise is one of the most debilitating things that can happen to a person who is resting, our just sitting around enjoying their backyard or back porch,” North Charleston City Councilmember and neighbor Virginia Jamison says.

“As they build this ramp up, it’s going to elevate the trucks going up there, diesel fumes,” North Charleston homeowner Bill Knippenberg says. “It’s going to envelop all those houses.”

Neighbors say with the hard work they have done to afford their “forever homes,” it is not easy to get up and leave.

“I’m asking myself, where would I go?” Jamison says. “What would I do if I didn’t have this comfort spot?”

The group says they have been in communication with the South Carolina Department of Transportation and local officials in attempts to achieve a barrier of any kind.

Charleston County released a statement on the project itself, claiming they will be planning public meetings to provide updates and answer questions in the next coming months.

The Palmetto Commerce Interchange Project began construction in August of 2023 and the goal is to be done by early 2026.

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – With exactly one month left until the First in the South Primary, presidential hopeful, Nikki Haley traveled back to her home state for a rally in North Charleston.

“And so, we were very excited last night because we saw that we had gone up 25 points in a month and we were thrilled. So, we got out there and we did our thing and we said what we had to say and then Donald Trump got out there and just threw a temper tantrum,” Haley told the crowd at the Convention Center.

Haley, who previously served as the Governor of South Carolina, called out her opponent former President Donald Trump after his recent victories in Iowa and New Hampshire.

“He was insulting, he was doing what he does, but I know that’s what he does when he’s insecure. I know that’s what he does when he is threatened and he should feel threatened, without a doubt,” Haley said, followed by an eruption of cheers.

The losses aren’t keeping Haley, nor those who came out on Wednesday, from showing their confidence in her path to the White House.

“I think she’s amazing and I think that she has what it takes to bring America back together and not keep us so divided,” said Jessica Adkins of Edisto Island.

Pat Abrahamson, who travelled from Summerville, had similar opinions toward Haley.

“I am all in, 100% behind this woman,” Abrahamson said.

Between the signs, shirts, and buttons, pride for Haley was on full display. Ed Ames, a dedicated supporter, volunteered his time to help set up the event.

“Nikki Haley is a person who, when she says something that she’s going to do, you can be rest assured that she’s going to do it and that she has a proven track record with that up in Columbia,” Ames told News 2.

Not everyone who showed up was pro-Haley. A group of people backing former President Trump gathered outside.

“I love President Trump because he’s the only politician that ever worked for the American people. He put America first,” said Miguel J. Munoz.

Back inside, Haley told the crowd she raised $1 million since her speech on Tuesday night. She encouraged voters to keep the momentum going.

“I promise you; I will do exactly what I did for you when I was Governor of South Carolina and I will spend every single day trying to make you proud,” Haley vowed.

Her next stops on the campaign trail include Mauldin, SC and Conway, SC this weekend.

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - Former South Carolina governor and United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley spoke to voters in North Charleston on Wednesday.

The presidential hopeful told people in her home state that her campaign is far from over, despite being behind Donald Trump in the Iowa and New Hampshire primaries.

When Haley addressed the crowd Monday night, she made it personal, talking about her time as governor. She changed up her stump speech from the past few she’s given it across the country, skipping over basic introductions and her childhood in the state.

Two voters at the event said they support Haley because they’ve seen her as a successful leader here in the Palmetto State.

“Just with her being governor and seeing what she did as governor, I’m just going to continue to follow her,” John Mulik, who has lived in Charleston for 40 years, says.

Cheryll Wood-Flowers was mayor of Mount Pleasant from 1992 to 2000.

“I like that she’s a very strong woman because I consider myself a very strong woman [who] raised strong women. And I think that she has great ideas to take this country where it needs to be,” Wood-Flowers says.

Haley leaned into her time as a South Carolina leader touting prison reform, booming business and voter ID laws.

“There’s so many things that we did together. And when you think about all of that, just think if we can translate that over,” Haley says.

She advocated for nixing the federal gas tax, breaks for small businesses, school and curriculum choice, supporting veterans and helping the middle class, going into detail about her plans on each topic.

Haley started her speech by calling Trump’s recent comments about her “temper tantrums,” and him insecure, saying he should be threatened by her. That’s despite losing to Trump by double-digit points in Iowa and New Hampshire.

“We’ve only had two states that have voted. We’ve got 48 more that deserve to vote,” Haley says.

The former governor continues to separate herself from the former president saying he sows chaos, while she wants to fix problems. And some voters seem to agree.

“I worked for Reagan, both Bushs, Bob Dole, John McCain, never voted for Donald Trump and never will. And because I don’t think that he’s a good role model for the children in this country,” Wood-Flowers says.

Haley says since New Hampshire, her campaign has raised $1 million from more than 200,000 donors. Right now, she’s using that and her hometown support to continue her campaign.
