Description

Century Aluminum’s Mt. Holly Smelter is back at full capacity after a dramatic comeback, churning out 230,000 tons of aluminum annually—up 10% nationally—thanks to a $50 million investment and U.S. trade policies. What started as a 2015 layoff of 300 workers has turned into a job boom: 150 new roles, with hiring beginning in September, bringing total employment to 750. This resurgence, fueled by federal tariffs and company commitment, is creating generational careers and community pride. The milestone will be celebrated with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Monday featuring top U.S. officials, including the Secretary of Commerce and Attorney General, as the plant proves strategic policy can spark real industrial revival.

Main Library Closes for Major Upgrade | Charleston News

Charleston County Public Library’s iconic downtown branch is closing its doors for the final time after a decade-long renovation — and this Saturday marks the official start of an 18-month transformation. The upgrade aims to create a more family-friendly, accessible space with kids and teens on the same floor, refreshed public areas, and new program spaces. While the main branch is shut down, services won’t vanish — the John L. Dart Library on King Street will remain open for full services, and a temporary location at Morrison Drive is set to launch soon, offering browsing, computers, and staff support. The library promises to keep the community informed every step of the way — because this long-awaited overhaul is designed to build a better, brighter future for reading, learning, and connection.
