New restaurant opens at Charleston-area public golf course. Expect more than typical clubhouse fare.

GOOSE CREEK — Goose Creek's vibrant food scene includes Brazilian bakeries, Filipino eateries and longstanding local pubs. But the city of about 50,000 residents has largely lacked a special occasion destination like the one Justin Moore is trying to create.

The chef's new venture just happens to be located on a golf course.

MOMO Crowfield is now open, serving a wide-ranging menu of chophouse classics and refined Southern fare. The nearly 500-seat restaurant with indoor and outdoor dining areas looks out over the Crowfield Golf Club, a public course owned by the city of Goose Creek. The culinary offering and ambiance, though, goes beyond typical clubhouse fare, Moore said.

Moore isn't the first Charleston-area chef to take over the kitchen of a golf course restaurant. In October, Michael Toscano of Le Farfalle announced plans to lead the culinary programming at 3’s Golf and Grill in Greenville.

"You don’t have to be a golfer to come eat," Toscano told The Post and Courier at the time. "Come enjoy the terrain, come enjoy the dining room overlooking the greenery; anybody can come out."

That's the message Moore is trying to broadcast with MOMO Crowfield, a spin-off of MOMO Riverfront Park, the North Charleston restaurant he owns with his wife Iryna.

"We're not the golf course. We're a restaurant at the golf course," the chef said.

Where the Riverfront location leans into seafood, MOMO Crowfield has a dedicated meat program, with aged filets, Iberico ham sliced by the ounce, truffle french fries, a wedge salad and signature burger, among other options. Seafood is highlighted with shrimp and grits, cornmeal-fried oyster sliders and smoked fish dip.

MOMO Crowfield is open from 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and 11 a.m.-10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Brunch is served from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. on Sundays. For more information, visit momocrowfield.com.

Crowfield Golf Club is home to the new location of MOMO.

A growing Goose Creek looks to spend $13 million on new city offices and public event space

GOOSE CREEK — The population here has more than doubled in the last 25 years. And that growth is showing no signs of slowing down, with hundreds of new homes under development, dozens of new restaurants opening and a future destination district in the works.

The one thing Mayor Greg Habib said the city truly needs, however, is more office space to serve residents' needs and an event space to gather together.

In the next two years he hopes to make both happen with a new $13 million municipal complex that will serve as city council’s meeting chambers and a venue for weddings, community events and art shows.

The future hall, currently dubbed The Assembly at Goose Creek, is expected to come online in 2026. It will be located behind to the current building by the pond.

“We recognized Goose Creek lacks event spaces,” Habib told The Post and Courier, noting there are very few overall in Berkeley County. “That morphed into a conversation of, well, if we need new office space, we should build an office building and an event center.”

The current government building was erected in 1999 to support a population of roughly 20,000 people. Today, about 50,000 residents live in Goose Creek, and the city has continued to beef up its staff to support them. (Think inspectors, planners and more to address the growing number of permits issued, code inspections and interactions with developers.)

Building out city hall was always part of the master plan, Habib said, but the lack of office space over the last three years has forced the city to get serious about expanding. Staff already has had to reconfigure their workspaces several times over, splitting offices, desk sharing and even repurposing the city council conference room into more cubicles.

Who will pay for it?

Habib said Goose Creek is lucky to have the funds and the flexibility to choose how it pays for The Assembly.

“We have enough cash to pay for it, over and above our required reserve funds,” Habib said. “Interest rates may say maybe you don’t spend all that cash, maybe you do go borrow money if municipal rates are good.”

Some of the funding will come from American Rescue Funds, with a majority stemming from Goose Creek’s booming economy, such as Roper St. Francis' upcoming hospital development, Habib said.

The permit application for Roper's 50-bed hospital in the Carnes Crossroads community was around $250,000, and that money went directly into the city’s fund balance.

As for the cost of daily operations, rent from regular events should more than cover salaries, utilities and more.

“I want people to know that this was very thoughtfully planned, both the idea to spend this kind of money on this kind of project, but also what we needed to meet the needs of our citizenry," Habib said.

What's planned for the space

The new 13,500-square-foot structure will consist of offices, a conference room, storage, a warming kitchen and the main 3,500-square-foot hall that will be co-used as council chambers and an event space.

The primary room can hold approximately 240 people standing and has a nearly 3,000-square-foot pre-function hall that can serve as a secondary gathering area or a food prep station for weddings and parties, said Alexis Kiser, special projects manager for the city.

"There will be city-sponsored events, just like there currently is across our municipal campus," Kiser said, adding the city has already tossed around family events and a potential comic book convention.

When town meetings arise, council can roll out a dais — the bench for council members — that will be housed otherwise in a storage room.

Outside, a 7,500-square-foot terrace will overlook the pond at city hall.

“That alone is half the building size,” Kiser said. “The idea for that and the hall is if you’re running a wedding for example, you’re not sacrificing event space.”

The existing building will remain the primary offices for the town and chamber for the next 18 months. Towards the latter half of 2026, the current two-story council chamber will be converted into eight dedicated closed-door offices, six touchdown spaces, a conference room and a reception area for permitting.

Kiser anticipates breaking ground in the middle of March with the building going vertical in June. Toward the end of 2026, there’ll be an overlap of about six months of construction where council will be without a chamber and will most likely head to off-site venues like schools or libraries.

City council will review The Assembly at Goose Creek plans at 6 p.m. Feb. 11 in town hall during its monthly meeting.

Inside Goose Creek operations of the largest military shipbuilder in the US

A new division of the largest military shipbuilder in the U.S. is in full swing after establishing operations in South Carolina just two months ago.

Newport News Shipbuilding-Charleston Operations, a facility in a division of Virginia-based Huntington Ingalls Industries, better known as HII, began in Goose Creek roughly 60 days ago.

In two days, the site, which spans nearly 50 acres and includes roughly 500,000 square feet of manufacturing space, will send off its first structural unit to NNS headquarters in Virginia for U.S. Navy aircraft carrier production.

NNS is the sole builder of aircraft carriers for the nation and one of the two companies that build submarines for the U.S., Matt Needy, general manager and vice president of Charleston operations, said during a tour of the sprawling facility on Wednesday. The company has overseen the design, construction, overhaul and repair of more than 800 ships for the U.S. Navy and commercial customers since beginning 139 years ago.

The purpose of the NNS Goose Creek operations is to specialize in modules of the submarines and aircraft carriers to unburden the main production in Virginia, Needy said.

In January HII closed on the acquisition of all the assets of metal fabricator W International SC LLC and Vivid Empire SC LLC (collectively “W International”). Financial terms of the deal were not revealed.

The company specializes in two classes of nuclear-powered submarines, the Virginia-Class and the Columbia-Class. Modules that the Goose Creek operations produce include the habitability module, auxiliary machine room and weapons module of the Virginia-Class along with the auxiliary machine room and the weapons module for the Columbia-Class, Needy said.

Needy said HII had it sights set on South Carolina for some time, considering the pre-established manufacturing workforce in the region.

“Because of the buildings, because of the people that are here, because of the pipelines, because of the state and regional and educational relationships that we already had the foundation of, this became the obvious choice to most rapidly expand capacity and frequency for Newport News,” Needy said.

Creating a workforce pipeline

During the acquisition, 99% of the legacy employees from W International transitioned. Currently employing 475 workers at the Goose Creek location, Needy hopes to see those numbers rise by the hundreds.

Alexis Mervin, a class-three welder, has been working at the facility for three years.

“Everyone gets along very well here, its a lot of team membership and working with each other,” Mervin said. “I’m over here building aircraft carriers for the Navy, submarines as well. It’s just an amazing experience.”

When joining the NNS Goose Creek facility, employees go through a 12-week course learning the specifics of NNS operations. During their training, they are considered full-time employees with benefits.

“This is a people-centered business,” Needy said. “It takes the heads, the hearts, the minds of a lot of great shipbuilders doing this complex work every day to bring the ships to life.”

Since starting the training program in October 2021, there have been about 1,200 students to graduate from it, Mark Schmitt, director of plant services operations, said. Schools like Goose Creek High School and Berkley High School teach a curriculum that helps the transition into the Newport News curriculum.

“You have these young guys and gals coming out of high school and signing letters in front of everybody going to colleges and universities,” Schmitt said. “Our version of that is The Summit. They come here, their parents come out here and they sign a letter of intent saying ‘I’m going to go be a welder for Newport News.’ It really is a powerful thing for us.”

Ashanti Grant, an 18-year-old welder for Newport News, heard about the opportunity through his high school. After attending Trident Technical College, he is finished his training with Newport News and has been working for about a year

“I didn’t know anything about welding before the job fair,” Grant said. “It’s really good here.”

The site spans 48-acres along the Cooper River, allowing access to deep water transportation as well as rail transportation that goes through the acreage. The land contains 480,000 square feet of manufacturing space.

Making an investment in the Lowcountry

Located next to the HII campus is a Leonardo DRS building under construction to open in 2026. The company is a leading provider of naval power and control technology solutions for the U.S. Navy. Needy said the two companies share a property line, road access and single barge slip so they are having meetings to maintain that relationship.

Materials for the productions are all sourced from the U.S. According to Needy, HII spends $500 million annually on local sourcing in the Lowcountry. Additionally, HII operations contribute $110 million per year in investments to its workforce, including education, scholarships, retirement and more.

“The Navy is in more demand than ever,” Needy said. “In my 34 years here with Newport News and the Huntington Ingalls Industries, I’ve never seen demand like the need for the ships that we build today.”

When the facility was W International, operations were exclusively a welding facility. Needy says the NNS goal is to build off those operations, scaling into something larger.

Needy said once the locations operations are at full capacity, it won’t just be steel structures for the modules being sent out, but fully outfitted modules with doors, walls, beds and more. He doesn’t expect the facility to be at its full-rate production capacity until 2027 and 2028.
