FlexCold Announces a New Refrigerated Warehouse on Patriot Boulevard
North Charleston received a new food-logistics development announcement on January 10, 2023, when FlexCold outlined a $49.9 million investment on Patriot Boulevard. The company and state described a cold storage facility expected to create fifty-nine jobs and support imports and exports through the Charleston port network.
The planned operation included inspection services, labeling, repacking and cross-docking, with poultry, seafood, meat and frozen produce among the products in the company’s business. At the time of the announcement, operations were projected for late summer 2024. The project placed refrigerated warehousing within reach of port activity, linking new construction to the handling steps that food shipments need between a vessel, a warehouse and their next destination.

Flash Flooding Closed Parts of Rivers Avenue
Flash flooding brought numerous road closures to Rivers Avenue in North Charleston on August 22, 2025. Police reported closures along the stretch from the 5300 block through the 5900 block as heavy rain affected the corridor.
A slow-moving cold front and abundant moisture supported thunderstorms capable of producing intense rainfall across southeastern South Carolina. For commercial traffic, including refrigerated trailers heading to food-delivery points, closed approaches can interrupt a journey even when a destination remains dry. Along Rivers Avenue, the affected block range covered several local connections, placing the immediate disruption on the roadway during the period of flash flooding.
