The Town of Mount Pleasant secured the Wando Dock in 2019, aiming to safeguard its historic character and shield it from development. With a keen awareness of Shem Creek’s vital shrimping industry, the town meticulously planned the dock's renovation to minimize disruption.
Mitchell explains that planning Wando Seafood Dock's renovation and repair was done with local businesses in mind. The decision was made to use a phased approach to keep Tarvin Seafood open. Temporary float docks have been made available for overflow mooring of shrimp boats. Mitchell adds that the visual portion of their work is designed to preserve Mount Pleasant's working waterfront character, look, and feel.
