Updated April 21: Word out of Columbia is that a letter of intent for the sale of the Port of Port Royal is back on the table.

Updated March 9: The Island Packet published a follow up report on March 5 cataloguing the status of the Port of Port Royal, a state owned piece of property which the town is trying to sell.
According to the report, the S.C. State Ports Authority, the agency in charge of selling the land, is considering either extending a deal between themselves and the town of Port Royal, or loosening the requirements which would be issued onto the property's potential buyers. Both measures would be taken, the article explains, to increase the chances of selling the property.

Updated January 21: The Charleston Regional Business Journal has the most in-depth piece yet on where the port sale went wrong.
