From the meeting
At its October 22, 2026 meeting, council considered accepting a 2026 Port Security Grant Program award. The city said the $244,509 federal award would fund firefighter training, travel for training, dive team equipment, and replacement boat equipment. Staff tied the award to the North Charleston Fire Department, with the full project budget at $326,012 and a 25% city match.
This points to follow-on purchasing and implementation work once the grant is accepted.
