| Info | Harry Bancroft (Buck) Limehouse, Jr. is the owner and founder of Limehouse Properties, a Charleston, South Carolina based commercial investment real estate company. He is the former Chairman of the South Carolina Department of Transportation Commission, and member of the State Infrastructure Bank Board. During his tenure in these positions he is credited with initiating several billion dollars worth of transportation projects, including the state’s first modern day toll road, the Cross Island Parkway in Hilton Head. Under his leadership, the South Carolina Department of Transportation was rated the most efficient transportation department in the nation for four consecutive years. He also organized the “Donor States” Coalition to lobby Congress for a more equitable return of federal gas taxes sent to Washington for distribution to the states.
He was also Chairman of the South Carolina Public Railways Commission. While Chairman, he increased productivity and reduced waste, turning the Ports Authority Railway, a major intermodal connector, from a subsidized system into a positive cash flow entity. Those funds later were used to build a railway connector needed to attract the BMW Plant to South Carolina, which was a tremendous economic boost to the state.
Mr. Limehouse was also hired as a consultant to the Georgia Department of Transportation and the State Road and Toll Authority in June 2002, based on his reputation for getting jobs done on time with sensitive consideration of the human, environmental, and business interests. He acted as Project Manager for the bold Northern Arc project, a proposed 60-mile, east-west, high-speed, limited access freeway north of Atlanta.
Buck Limehouse is a native of Charleston and a 1960 graduate of the Citadel. Among the many recognitions he has received are the following: named 1997 South Carolina “Conservationist of the Year” by the SC Wildlife Federation; named “Transportation Advocate of the Year” in 1995 by the SC Transportation Policy and Research Council; and the 1996 “Friend of the Taxpayer” Award from the South Carolina Association of Taxpayers.
